Red Hat

Red Hat rates this Low.

Red Hat's statement

An uncontrolled resource consumption flaw in the Qt Network module allows a remote attacker or malicious HTTP server to exhaust system resources and cause a denial of service by delivering a specially crafted HTTP response.

Red Hat's mitigation

Ensure client applications only connect to trusted HTTP endpoints and restrict maximum allowed response headers and body buffer sizes in application network settings where supported.
