Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in qt4-x11, a cross-platform
C++ application framework.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the
following problems:

  • CVE-2009-0945
    Array index error in the insertItemBefore method in WebKit, as used in qt4-x11,
    allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
  • CVE-2009-1687
    The JavaScript garbage collector in WebKit, as used in qt4-x11 does not
    properly handle allocation failures, which allows remote attackers to
    execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption
    and application crash) via a crafted HTML document that triggers write
    access to an "offset of a NULL pointer.
  • CVE-2009-1690
    Use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit, as used in qt4-x11, allows remote
    attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory
    corruption and application crash) by setting an unspecified property of
    an HTML tag that causes child elements to be freed and later accessed
    when an HTML error occurs.
  • CVE-2009-1698
    WebKit in qt4-x11 does not initialize a pointer during handling of a
    Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) attr function call with a large numerical
    argument, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or
    cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via
    a crafted HTML document.
  • CVE-2009-1699
    The XSL stylesheet implementation in WebKit, as used in qt4-x11 does
    not properly handle XML external entities, which allows remote attackers to read
    arbitrary files via a crafted DTD.
  • CVE-2009-1711
    WebKit in qt4-x11 does not properly initialize memory for Attr DOM objects,
    which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial
    of service (application crash) via a crafted HTML document.
  • CVE-2009-1712
    WebKit in qt4-x11 does not prevent remote loading of local Java applets,
    which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, gain privileges, or
    obtain sensitive information via an APPLET or OBJECT element.
  • CVE-2009-1713
    The XSLT functionality in WebKit, as used in qt4-x11 does not properly
    implement the document function, which allows remote attackers to read
    arbitrary local files and files from different security zones.
  • CVE-2009-1725
    WebKit in qt4-x11 does not properly handle numeric character references,
    which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a
    denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a
    crafted HTML document.
  • CVE-2009-2700
    qt4-x11 does not properly handle a ‘\0’ character in a domain name in the
    Subject Alternative Name field of an X.509 certificate, which allows
    man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted
    certificate issued by a legitimate Certification Authority.

The oldstable distribution (etch) is not affected by these problems.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 4.4.3-1+lenny1.

For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
(sid), these problems have been fixed in version 4.5.3-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your qt4-x11 packages.
