Detail

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in recent versions of Qt, a commonly used graphic widget set, used in KDE for example. The first problem allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code, while the other two only seem to pose a denial of service danger. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following vulnerabilities:

CAN-2004-0691:

Chris Evans has discovered a heap-based overflow when handling 8-bit RLE encoded BMP files.

CAN-2004-0692:

Marcus Meissner has discovered a crash condition in the XPM handling code, which is not yet fixed in Qt 3.3.

CAN-2004-0693:

Marcus Meissner has discovered a crash condition in the GIF handling code, which is not yet fixed in Qt 3.3. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 3.0.3-20020329-1woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 3.3.3-4 of qt-x11-free.

We recommend that you upgrade your qt packages.

Id Description
9036 Qt XPM Parser NULL Dereference Remote DoS

Qt contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when a NULL derefernce occurs in the XPM parser, and will result in loss of availability for the system running Qt. No further details have been provided.
9035 Qt GIF Parser Null Dereference Remote DoS

Qt contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when a NULL derefernce occurs in the GIF parser, and will result in loss of availability for the system running Qt. No further details have been provided.
9026 Qt qimage.cpp read_dib Function BMP Handling Overflow

A remote overflow exists in Trolltech Qt. The read_dib() fails to check user supplied d resulting in a buffer overflow in at least three blocks of code. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary code with the privelege of the current user resulting in a loss of confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability.
