+ Qt is a cross-platform GUI framework, which is used e.g. by KDE.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Dirk Mueller from the KDE development team discovered a boundary error
+ in file qutfcodec.cpp when processing Unicode strings.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could send a specially crafted Unicode string to a
+ vulnerable Qt application, possibly resulting in the remote execution
+ of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
+ application. Note that the boundary error is present but reported to be
+ not exploitable in 4.x series.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Qt 3.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=x11-libs/qt-3.3.8-r4"</code>
