Background ========== The Qt toolkit is a comprehensive C++ application development framework. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 dev-qt/qtcore < 4.8.5-r1 >= 4.8.5-r1 Description =========== A vulnerability in QXmlSimpleReader's XML entity parsing has been discovered. Impact ====== A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted XML file using an application linked against QtCore, possibly resulting in Denial of Service. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All QtCore users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-qt/qtcore-4.8.5-r1" Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying these packages.
