AI-suggested
A patch is available and should be applied by updating to the fixed package versions provided by Ubuntu for supported releases (5.12.8-0ubuntu1+esm1, 5.15.3+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1~esm1, 5.15.13+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1+esm1). Standard system updates will apply these fixes. No additional mitigation steps are required beyond applying the official updates.
Description
A vulnerability in Qt Declarative's Text component allows improper validation of width and height attributes in image tags, leading to excessive resource allocation. This can cause applications using affected Qt versions to become unresponsive, resulting in a denial of service. The issue affects multiple Qt versions from 5.0.0 through 6.10.0. Fixes are available in updated package versions for supported Ubuntu releases.
