Echo: qtbase-opensource-src: security update to 5.15.15+dfsg-6+e7

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 477489

Description

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

 - An attacker able to supply a crafted XML document to an application using QXmlStreamReader can cause
 disproportionate CPU consumption during parsing, making the application unresponsive (denial of service).
 Exploitation requires only that the application parse attacker-influenced XML; no authentication,
 privileges, or user interaction beyond ingesting the input are needed. There is no loss of confidentiality
 or integrity — no data disclosure, data modification, or code execution — and the impact is contained to
 the affected process. (CVE-2026-16762)

Solution

Update the qtbase-opensource-src library and its related packages to version 5.15.15+dfsg-6+e7 or later.
