Summary

Off-by-one error in the QUtf8Decoder::toUnicode function in Trolltech Qt 3 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted Unicode string that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE: Qt 4 has the same error in the QUtf8Codec::convertToUnicode function, but it is not exploitable.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Overflow Buffers
    Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
  • Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow
    This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
  • Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow
    In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
  • MIME Conversion
    An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

    descriptionFrom Red Hat Security Advisory 2007:0883 : Updated qt packages that correct two security flaws are now available. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. Qt is a software toolkit that simplifies the task of writing and maintaining GUI (Graphical User Interface) applications for the X Window System. A flaw was found in the way Qt expanded certain UTF8 characters. It was possible to prevent a Qt-based application from properly sanitizing user-supplied input. This could, for example, result in a cross-site scripting attack against the Konqueror web browser. (CVE-2007-0242) A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Qt expanded malformed Unicode strings. If an application linked against Qt parsed a malicious Unicode string, it could lead to a denial of service or possibly allow the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2007-4137) Users of Qt should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct these issues.

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200710-28 (Qt: Buffer overflow) Dirk Mueller from the KDE development team discovered a boundary error in file qutfcodec.cpp when processing Unicode strings. Impact : 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. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.

A remote attacker could exploit this by sending specially crafted strings to applications that use the Qt3 library for UTF8 processing, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution with user privileges, or a denial of service.

    descriptionA buffer overflow was found in how Qt expanded malformed Unicode strings. If an application linked against Qt parsed a malicious Unicode string, it could lead to a denial of service or potentially allow for the execution of arbitrary code. Updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue. Although the problem is not exploitable in Qt4, patched packages have been issued regardless.

    descriptionUpdated qt packages that correct two security flaws are now available. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. Qt is a software toolkit that simplifies the task of writing and maintaining GUI (Graphical User Interface) applications for the X Window System. A flaw was found in the way Qt expanded certain UTF8 characters. It was possible to prevent a Qt-based application from properly sanitizing user-supplied input. This could, for example, result in a cross-site scripting attack against the Konqueror web browser. (CVE-2007-0242) A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Qt expanded malformed Unicode strings. If an application linked against Qt parsed a malicious Unicode string, it could lead to a denial of service or possibly allow the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2007-4137) Users of Qt should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct these issues.

NOTE: Qt 4 has the same error in the QUtf8Codec::convertToUnicode function, but it is not exploitable.
