How to fix?

Upgrade qt to version 4.8.4 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure. 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.
