qt: buffer overflow in zlib

Package(s):qt CVE #(s):
Created:September 26, 2005 Updated:September 28, 2005
Description: Qt links to a bundled vulnerable version of zlib when emerged with the zlib USE-flag disabled. This may lead to a buffer overflow. By creating a specially crafted compressed data stream, attackers can overwrite data structures for applications that use Qt, resulting in a Denial of Service or potentially arbitrary code execution.
