    <p>
    Tim Brown of Portcullis Computer Security Ltd and Dirk Mueller of KDE
    reported multiple format string errors in qWarning() calls in files
    qtextedit.cpp, qdatatable.cpp, qsqldatabase.cpp, qsqlindex.cpp,
    qsqlrecord.cpp, qglobal.cpp, and qsvgdevice.cpp.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could trigger one of the vulnerabilities by causing a Qt
    application to parse specially crafted text, which may lead to the
    execution of arbitrary code.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Qt 3 users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "=x11-libs/qt-3*"</code>
  </resolution>
