+ <p>
+ Tim Brown of Portcullis Computer Security Ltd and Dirk Mueller of KDE
+ reported multiple format string errors in qWarning() calls in files
+ qtextedit.cpp, qdatatable.cpp, qsqldatabase.cpp, qsqlindex.cpp,
+ qsqlrecord.cpp, qglobal.cpp, and qsvgdevice.cpp.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could trigger one of the vulnerabilities by causing a Qt
+ application to parse specially crafted text, which may lead to the
+ execution of arbitrary code.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Qt 3 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "=x11-libs/qt-3*"</code>
