CVE-2012-5624

Publication date 5 December 2012

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The XMLHttpRequest object in Qt before 4.8.4 enables http redirection to the file scheme, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to force the read of arbitrary local files and possibly obtain sensitive information via a file: URL to a QML application.
