Qt WebEngine: Arbitrary code execution A heap use-after-free flaw in Qt WebEngine at worst might allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. qtwebengine 2020-04-01 2020-04-01 699328 local, remote 5.14.1 5.14.1

Library for rendering dynamic web content in Qt5 C++ and QML applications.

A use-after-free vulnerability has been found in the audio component of Qt WebEngine.

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted media file in an application linked against Qt WebEngine, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All Qt WebEngine users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-qt/qtwebengine-5.14.1"
