Description

Out-of-bounds read (buffer over-read) in the HTTP Cache-Control response header parsing in the QtNetwork module in Qt Group Qt 6.0.0 through 6.8.8, and 6.9.0 through 6.11.1, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via an excessively large Cache-Control header value returned by an untrusted or compromised HTTP server to an application using QNetworkAccessManager. Only the client side of the connection is affected and 32-bit builds are not affected; the out-of-bounds access is read-only, with no information disclosure and no code execution.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

6.0.0 ≤ v < 6.8.96.9.0 ≤ v < 6.11.26.0.06.9.0
Affected range stops below 6.11.2, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
Affected range stops below 6.8.9, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
