NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qt4-x11 package and not the qt4-x11 package as distributed by Debian.

The XMLHttpRequest object in Qt before 4.8.4 enables http redirection to the file scheme, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to force the read of arbitrary local files and possibly obtain sensitive information via a file: URL to a QML application.
