Description:
    Previous versions of the qt-x11-free package are vulnerable to a Denial
    of Service attack in which a maliciously crafted Unicode string may
    cause a heap-based buffer overflow in applications that use the Qt
    libraries.  It is not believed that this vulnerability can be exploited
    to execute malicious code.
