Summary

Qt from 6.8.0 before 6.8.9 and from 6.9.0 before 6.11.3 is affected. A malicious SVG can trigger an integer overflow that leads to a null-pointer dereference (CWE-476) in QTriangulator, reached through the VectorImage QML type. A local attacker without privileges can cause a denial of service if a user actively loads the crafted file.
