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 out-of-bounds memory access in the generateDirectionalRuns() function in qtextengine.cpp in Qt qtbase 5.11.x and 5.12.x before 5.12.5 allows attackers to cause a denial of service by crashing an application via a text file containing many directional characters.
