Patch release for Fedora 27 resolving CVE-2016-10040 buffer overflow in QXmlSimpleReader, enhances software reliability.
This update fixes CVE-2016-10040, a stack overflow in QXmlSimpleReader due to a too lenient entityCharacterLimit in our version of the patch for CVE-2013-4549

Summary

Qt is a GUI software toolkit which simplifies the task of writing and

maintaining GUI (Graphical User Interface) applications

for the X Window System.

Qt is written in C++ and is fully object-oriented.

This package contains the shared library needed to run Qt 3

applications, as well as the README files for Qt 3.

This update fixes CVE-2016-10040, a stack overflow in QXmlSimpleReader due to a

too lenient entityCharacterLimit in our version of the patch for CVE-2013-4549.

(The limit was increased from the upstream 1024 to 65536 to address QTBUG-35459,

an issue where the security fix was breaking existing real-world XML files.

Unfortunately, that is too much to actually fit on the CPU stack. This fix

decreases the limit to 4096.) It also fixes the QMySql driver to work with the

version of MariaDB in Fedora 27.
