Date Reported:

15 May 2007

Affected Packages:

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 417391.
In the Bugtraq database (at SecurityFocus): BugTraq ID 23269.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2007-0242.

More information:

Andreas Nolden discovered a bug in the UTF8 decoding routines in qt4-x11, a C++ GUI library framework, that could allow remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) and directory traversal attacks via long sequences that decode to dangerous metacharacters.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 4.2.1-2etch1.

For the testing and unstable distribution (lenny and sid, respectively), this problem has been fixed in version 4.2.2-2.

We recommend that you upgrade your qt4-x11 package.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (etch)
