Comment 3 Fedora Update System 2015-04-21 15:11:40 EDT

Comment 4 Kevin Kofler 2015-04-21 19:35:03 EDT

To the best of my knowledge, Qt 3 is NOT vulnerable to this issue, for the following reason:
The security fix from Qt 4 changes the relevant code sequence in the BMP/DIB reader from "protection, get characters, update p" to "get characters, protection, update p". The Qt 3 code was already using the correct "get characters, protection, update p" order. ("get characters" increments the x and y variables, "protection" checks them.) The character reading code was modified for Qt 4, apparently introducing this bug.

Qt 4 and Qt 5 are vulnerable, and Fedora updates correcting this vulnerability have been issued.
