Richard J. Moore and Peter Hartmann discovered that Qt allowed redirecting requests from http to file schemes. If an attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to view sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 11.10, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 12.10. (CVE-2012-5624)

Stephen Cheng discovered that Qt may report incorrect errors when ssl certificate verification fails. (CVE-2012-6093)

Tim Brown and Mark Lowe discovered that Qt incorrectly used weak permissions on shared memory segments. A local attacker could use this issue to view sensitive information, or modify program data belonging to other users. (CVE-2013-0254).
