Qt(4.8.7) vulnerabilities
-
The CVEs are pretty clear about what happens under which circumstances.
Forgive my openness, but that sounds like asking for instructions to hack something using a long-outdated Qt version. -

We have fixed the vulnerabilities in Qt 4.8.7 . In order to check whether the vulnerability is fixed, we have to know how to reproduce the issue.

I am sorry if you felt like that. But the above mentioned is not the intention. -
@A-Akshatha can you explain exactly what is your goal then ?

CVE-2018-19873 is all about a bitmap larger than 16384 by 16384 bytes causing a buffer overflow.
- you have fixed it, you say.
- at the same time, you need help to reproduce a buffer overflow?
Sorry again, but I have hard times believing that. How about a large bitmap and a sanitizer?
-
We have obtained the code for fixing the vulnerability from the site: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/238749/
But in order to confirm and ensure whether this is the fix of the vulnerability : CVE-2018-19873,we wanted to know how it is reproduced. i.e., to check both the cases: before and after fix.
Hope now the intention behind asking the query is clear. -
So basically you trust the rest of the code is fine but not those patches? Strange logic...
-
We are doing this as part of a test case requested by our client. In that test case we have to implement before and after fix of the vulnerability CVE-2018-19873 and have to submit the proof to the client.
Hope it is clear. -
Use a large pixmap and a sanitizer for that proof.
For more advice, contact your / your client's account manager.

We used large bitmap size say 17000x17000 but we were not able to reproduce the vulnerability.
How is this vulnerability is shown? -
As said before, contact your account manager.
