Description

A flaw was found in Qt. This vulnerability allows an attacker to trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) by providing specially crafted Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) data. When the application converts this input into JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format using QCborValue, a NULL pointer dereference occurs, leading to an application crash.

Statement

A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the Qt Core module during QCborValue to JSON conversion allows an attacker to cause an application crash and denial of service by supplying specially crafted CBOR input.
