Summary

Qt Framework versions from 6.4.0 before 6.11.3 and from 6.12.0 before 6.12.1 are affected. The QHttpServer component allocates resources without limits or throttling during HTTP request handling (CWE-770). A remote unauthenticated attacker can exhaust resources and reduce the availability of the server.
