    <p>
    An integer overflow flaw has been found in the pixmap handling of Qt.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    By enticing a user to open a specially crafted pixmap image in an
    application using Qt, e.g. Konqueror, a remote attacker could be able
    to cause an application crash or the execution of arbitrary code with
    the rights of the user running the application.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Qt 3.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=x11-libs/qt-3.3.6-r4&quot;</code>
    <p>
    All Qt 4.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=x11-libs/qt-4.1.4-r2&quot;</code>
