Echo: qtbase-opensource-src: security update to 5.15.15+dfsg-6+e5

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 472779

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Uncontrolled recursion (CWE-674) in the QDomDocument/QDomNode serialization path of the Qt XML module
 (QtXml, qtbase). QDomElementPrivate::save() and QDomNodePrivate::save() recurse mutually, consuming one
 stack frame per level of element nesting with no depth limit, no configurable bound and no error return. A
 document with deeply nested elements parses successfully but exhausts the call stack and terminates the
 process when serialized. Reachable via QDomDocument::toByteArray() (Qt 4.0 and later),
 QDomDocument::toString(), QDomDocument::toCString(), QDomNode::save(), and operator<<(QTextStream&, const
 QDomNode&). Denial of service only — no code execution and no memory disclosure. (CVE-2026-11573)

Solution

Update the qtbase-opensource-src library and its related packages to version 5.15.15+dfsg-6+e5 or later.
