CVE-2007-0242

Publication date 3 April 2007

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Unknown

Why this priority?

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.
