Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Validation of Specified Index through qDecodeDataUrl(), which is used in QTextDocument and QNetworkReply. An attacker can cause the application to crash by providing malformed data, triggering an assertion failure, and resulting in an abort.

Note: Successful exploitation requires Qt to be built with assertions enabled.
