debian lts
Calendar Grey January 31, 2020
Dist Debian Esm H88
The latest qtbase-opensource-src update resolves a problem with loading local directories, thereby improving system security on Debian 8.
In Qt5's plugin loader code as found in qtbase-opensource-src, it was possible to (side-)load plugins from "the" local folder in addition to a system-widely defined library path

Summary

For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
5.3.2+dfsg-4+deb8u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your qtbase-opensource-src packages.
