Detail
| Problem Description: Updated qt packages that fix security issues in several of the image decoders are now available. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64 Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 3. Problem description: Qt is a software toolkit that simplifies the task of writing and maintaining GUI (Graphical User Interface) applications for the X Window System. During a security audit, Chris Evans discovered a heap overflow in the BMP image decoder in Qt versions prior to 3.3.3. An attacker could create a carefully crafted BMP file in such a way that it would cause an application linked with Qt to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code when the file was opened by a victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0691 to this issue. Additionally, various flaws were discovered in the GIF, XPM, and JPEG decoders in Qt versions prior to 3.3.3. An attacker could create carefully crafted image files in such a way that it could cause an application linked against Qt to crash when the file was opened by a victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CAN-2004-0692 and CAN-2004-0693 to these issues. Users of Qt should update to these updated packages which contain backported patches and are not vulnerable to these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat Update Agent, use the following command: up2date For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the following Web page for the System Administration or Customization guide specific to your system: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/ 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ for more info): 128720 - CAN-2004-0691 BMP decoder heap overflow |

| 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. |
