Vulnerability Insight:
Qt is a software toolkit that simplifies the task of writing and
maintaining GUI (Graphical User Interface) applications for the X Window
System. HarfBuzz is an OpenType text shaping engine.
A buffer overflow flaw was found in the harfbuzz module in Qt. If a user

it could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user running the application.
(CVE-2011-3193)
A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Qt handled certain gray-scale
image files. If a user loaded a specially-crafted gray-scale image file
