A vulnerability has been found in Qt Creator 2.0.0 and previous versions. The vulnerability occurs because of an insecure manipulation of a Unix environment variable by the qtcreator shell script. It manifests by causing Qt or Qt Creator to attempt to load certain library names from the current working directory (CVE-2010-3374).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
