Affected: AlmaLinux:8: qt5-qtbase-static, AlmaLinux:8: qt5-qttools-static

Qt is a software toolkit for developing applications. The qt5-base packages contain base tools for string, xml, and network handling in Qt.

Security Fix(es):

* qt: XML entity expansion vulnerability (CVE-2015-9541)

* qt5-qtwebsockets: websocket implementation allows only limited size for frames and messages therefore attacker can cause DOS (CVE-2018-21035)

* qt: files placed by attacker can influence the working directory and lead to malicious code execution (CVE-2020-0569)

* qt: files placed by attacker can influence the working directory and lead to malicious code execution (CVE-2020-0570)

* qt5: incorrectly calls SSL_shutdown() in OpenSSL mid-handshake causing denial of service in TLS applications (CVE-2020-13962)
