Detail

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Ubuntu 6.10 Ubuntu 7.04

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
libqt3-mt 3:3.3.6-1ubuntu6.3

Ubuntu 6.10:
libqt3-mt 3:3.3.6-3ubuntu3.2

Ubuntu 7.04:
libqt3-mt 3:3.3.8really3.3.7-0ubuntu5.1

After a standard system upgrade you should restart your KDE session to to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Several format string vulnerabilities have been discovered in Qt warning messages. By causing an application to process specially crafted input data which triggered Qt warnings, this could be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privilege of the user running the application.

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.
