Trolltech Releases Qt 3.3.7, 4.1.5 and 4.2.1, Addressing Security Issue

20 October - 2006

Trolltech has now released Qt 3.3.7, Qt 4.1.5 and Qt 4.2.1 – patch releases that incorporate a fix for a security issue identified in the Qt 3.x and Qt 4.x series.  While no exploits for this security issue are currently known, it is recommended that Qt users upgrade to this latest version. The patch releases for Qt 3.3, Qt 4.1 and Qt 4.2 are now available for download.

A security flaw was discovered in the way Qt 3.x and 4.x handles pixmap images.  This issue can occur only when transforming specially prepared images from untrusted sources.  Qt 3.3.7, as well as Qt 4.1.5 and 4.2.1 correct this flaw.

The patch releases are now available for download at http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/downloads.
