Takumi Asaki discovered that uim insufficiently checks environment
|
|
variables. setuid/setgid applications linked against libuim could end
|
|
up executing arbitrary code. This vulnerability only affects
|
|
immodule-enabled Qt (if you build Qt 3.3.2 or later versions with
|
|
USE="immqt" or USE="immqt-bc").
|
|
