Summary
Qt is a software toolkit for developing applications. The qt5-base packages contain base tools for string, xml, and network handling in Qt.
Security Fix(es):
* qt: XML entity expansion vulnerability (CVE-2015-9541)
* qt5-qtwebsockets: websocket implementation allows only limited size for frames and messages therefore attacker can cause DOS (CVE-2018-21035)
* qt: files placed by attacker can influence the working directory and lead to malicious code execution (CVE-2020-0569)
* qt: files placed by attacker can influence the working directory and lead to malicious code execution (CVE-2020-0570)
