Synopsis:	Important: qt security update
Issue date:	2007-09-13
CVE Names:	CVE-2007-0242 CVE-2007-4137

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)
