Detail

Several local/remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Qt GUI Library. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2007-3388

Tim Brown and Dirk Müller discovered several format string vulnerabilities in the handling of error messages, which might lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2007-4137

Dirk Müller discovered an off-by-one buffer overflow in the Unicode handling, which might lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

For the old stable distribution (sarge), these problems have been fixed in version 3:3.3.4-3sarge3. Packages for m68k will be provided later.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 3:3.3.7-4etch1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 3:3.3.7-8.

We recommend that you upgrade your qt-x11-free packages.

NOTE: Qt 4 has the same error in the QUtf8Codec::convertToUnicode function, but it is not exploitable.

Id Description
39385 QT QTextEdit Error Message Handling Remote Format String

A format string flaw exists in Qt. The library fails to properly sanitize format string specifiers (e.g., %s and %x). With a specially crafted request, a CONTEXT-DEPENDENT attacker can crash the service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was possible to trigger the vulnerability from the URL bar of versions of KDE's Konqueror web browser that were linked against the vulnerable library.
