Vulnerability in Qt

CVE-2007-0242

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.

EPSS: 0.021 (79.3th percentile) — read the EPSS interpretation.

Affected products

  • Qt — versions 3.3.8, 4.2.3
  • N/a — versions n/a
