How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable qtbase-opensource-src to version 5.15.15+dfsg-6 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream qtbase-opensource-src package and not the qtbase-opensource-src package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was found in the private API function qDecodeDataUrl() in QtCore, which is used in QTextDocument and QNetworkReply, and, potentially, in user code.

If the function was called with malformed data, for example, an URL that contained a "charset" parameter that lacked a value (such as "data:charset,"), and Qt was built with assertions enabled, then it would hit an assertion, resulting in a denial of service (abort).

This impacts Qt up to 5.15.18, 6.0.0->6.5.8, 6.6.0->6.8.3 and 6.9.0. This has been fixed in 5.15.19, 6.5.9, 6.8.4 and 6.9.1.
