Debian DSA-4374-1 : qtbase-opensource-src - security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 121426

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Several issues were discovered in qtbase-opensource-src, a cross-platform C++ application framework, which could lead to denial-of-service via application crash. Additionally, this update fixes a problem affecting vlc, where it would start without a GUI.

Solution

Upgrade the qtbase-opensource-src packages.

For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 5.7.1+dfsg-3+deb9u1.
