==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 13.10

Summary:

Qt could be made to consume resources and hang if it processed XML data.

Software Description:
- qt4-x11: Qt 4 libraries
- qtbase-opensource-src: Qt 5 libraries

Details:

It was discovered that QXmlSimpleReader in Qt incorrectly handled XML
entity expansion. An attacker could use this flaw to cause Qt applications
to consume large amounts of resources, resulting in a denial of service.
