4.3 MEDIUM — AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

Description

The UTF-8 decoder in codecs/qutfcodec.cpp in Qt 3.3.8 and 4.2.3 does not reject long UTF-8 sequences as required by the standard, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) and directory traversal attacks via long sequences that decode to dangerous metacharacters.

Affected configurations

• qt qt 3.3.8 • qt qt 4.2.3
