-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] qt (SSA:2006-298-01) New qt packages are available for Slackware 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, and 11.0 to fix a possible security issue. More details about this issue may be found in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4811 Trolltech has put out a press release which may be found here: http://www.trolltech.com/company/newsroom/announcements/p... Here are the details from the Slackware 11.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/qt-3.3.7-i486-1_slack11.0.tgz: Upgraded to qt-x11-free-3.3.7. This fixes an issue with Qt's handling of pixmap images that causes Qt linked applications to crash if a specially crafted malicious image is loaded. Inspection of the code in question makes it seem unlikely that this could lead to more serious implications (such as arbitrary code execution), but it is recommended that users upgrade to the new Qt package. For more information, see: http://www.trolltech.com/company/newsroom/announcements/p... http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4811 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
