Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Qt up to 5.15.16/6.2.10/6.5.3/6.6.1. Affected is an unknown part of the file network/access/http2/hpacktable.cpp of the component HTTP2 HAndler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a integer overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-190. The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound, when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This can introduce other weaknesses when the calculation is used for resource management or execution control. The impact remains unknown. CVE summarizes:
