Qt Company · Qt · CVE-2018-19872
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Qt version 5.11
**Description**
A issue in Qt 5.11 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service using a malformed PPM image, which results in a division by zero and a crash in the `qppmhandler.cpp` component.
**Recommendations**
For Qt version 5.11, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the handling of PPM images until a patch is available. Restrict access to the `qppmhandler.cpp` component to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the PPM image handling functionality in Qt until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
