Details

It was discovered that Qt did not correctly handle certain inputs when
using the SQL ODBC driver plugin. An attacker could possibly use this issue
to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-24607)

It was discovered that Qt did not correctly parse certain strict-transport-
security headers. An attacker could possibly use this issue to leak
sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu
22.04 LTS. (CVE-2023-32762)

It was discovered that Qt did not correctly handle certain inputs from DNS
servers. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute
arbitrary code or cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-33285)

It was discovered that Qt did not correctly validate certain CA
certificates for TLS. An attacker could possibly use this issue to gain
access to unauthorized resources....
