Re: [Interest] Glib vulnerability on QT 5.6.3 dependency

Thanks for your mail.
Sorry got the version wrong. Meant to upgrade from the existing version
of 2.52.3 to version higher than 2.60.4 and above.
Also in the plan to upgrade to latest Qt 6 though we are yet to decide to
move from the existing qtwebkit module to Qtwebengine.

First, 52 > 8, so your question makes absolutely no sense.

Second, 2.58 is not the latest stable version of glib, 2.66 is. You should 
consider upgrading to that.

Third, you should always upgrade your components to avoid security issues. 
Don't let your system get too old. Like running Qt 5.6.

[Interest] Glib vulnerability on QT 5.6.3 dependency

2021-01-06 Thread Ramakanth Kesireddy
Hi,

Am using Qt 5.6.3 widgets on embedded Linux through yocto recipes which
depends on libglib-2.0. The modules being used by our single threaded
application are core,gui,widgets and printsupport.

Our usecases incase of QT involve c++ widgets with stylesheet with
QStackedlayout and signals/slots and QTimers.

A vulnerability is found with the glib version 2.52.3 as
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-12450.

Is it recommended to upgrade the glib version to 2.8.3 or look for any
patch with the existing version or ignore the CVE?

Please let me know your feedback in this regard.

Thanks and Regards,
Ramakanth
