  <title>AMD64 x86 emulation Qt library: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
  <synopsis>
    Multiple vulnerabilities in the AMD64 x86 emulation Qt library may lead to
    the remote execution of arbitrary code in Qt applications.

    <p>
    Qt is a cross-platform GUI framework, which is used e.g. by KDE. The
    AMD64 x86 emulation Qt library packages Qt libraries for 32bit x86
    emulation on AMD64.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    The Qt versions used by the AMD64 x86 emulation Qt libraries were
    vulnerable to several flaws (GLSA 200708-16, GLSA 200710-28)
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could trigger one of the vulnerabilities by causing a Qt
    application to parse specially crafted text or Unicode strings, which
    may lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
    user running the application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All AMD64 x86 emulation Qt library users should upgrade to the latest
    version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-qtlibs-20071114-r2&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
