Summary
Qt versions from 5.12.0 through 6.8.8 and from 6.9.0 through 6.11.2 are affected in Qt Core. Specially crafted CBOR input passed to QCborValue::fromCbor() causes an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125), which may crash the application and could expose information. A local attacker without privileges can trigger it if a user processes crafted CBOR input.
