Last modified

CVE-2007-0242 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The UTF-8 decoder in codecs/qutfcodec.cpp in Qt 3.3.8 and 4.2.3 does not reject long UTF-8 sequences as required by the standard, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) and directory traversal attacks via long sequences that decode to dangerous metacharacters.. EPSS estimates a 2.05% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
