Summary

Qt from 6.0.0 before 6.8.9, from 6.9.0 before 6.11.2, and from 6.12.0 onward is affected. An integer overflow in the Qt5Compat XML parsing code (QXmlSimpleReader) lets calculated sizes wrap around (CWE-190). A local attacker without privileges can trigger it when a user processes crafted XML, which mainly affects availability and slightly affects integrity.
