CVE-2013-0254
Last modified
CVE-2013-0254 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The QSharedMemory class in Qt 5.0.0, 4.8.x before 4.8.5, 4.7.x before 4.7.6, and other versions including 4.4.0 uses weak permissions (world-readable and world-writable) for shared memory segments, which allows local users to read sensitive information or modify critical program data, as demonstrated by reading a pixmap being sent to an X server.. EPSS estimates a 0.42% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
