Description David Walser 2018-06-10 20:49:11 CEST
Fedora has issued an advisory on June 9:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/MMPQK37WEHT2KHWYTH4WNIAWNFKBUZ3P/

Mageia 5 is also affected (but this package is only required by lsb).

Patched packages uploaded for Mageia 6 and Cauldron.

Testing that it upgrades successfully is sufficient.

Advisory:
========================

Updated qt3 packages fix security vulnerability:

A stack overflow flaw was found in the way Qt parsed XML input with several
nested opening tags. An application using Qt's QXmlSimpleReader to parse
specially crafted XML input could crash (CVE-2016-10040).

Version: Cauldron => 6

Comment 1 PC LX 2018-06-11 14:24:54 CEST
No packages in the repositories use the Qt3 packages and I no longer have anything that uses or can be compiled to use Qt3.

Any idea on how to test these Qt3 packages?

CC: (none) => mageia

Comment 2 David Walser 2018-06-11 14:53:03 CEST
As I said in Comment 0, just test that they upgrade cleanly.
Comment 3 Herman Viaene 2018-06-11 15:57:00 CEST
