QtGui: Arbitrary code execution A use-after-free was discovered in QtGui's Markdown handling code possibly allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. qtgui 2020-07-27 2020-07-27 719732 remote 5.14.2 5.14.2

QtGui is a module for the Qt toolkit.

QtGui’s setMarkdown has a use-after-free related to QTextMarkdownImporter::insertBlock.

A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process, or cause a Denial of Service condition.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All QtGui users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-qt/qtgui-5.14.2"

Note that the Qt suite is best kept in sync, so a world upgrade may be advisable to keep your system in a good state.
