Stack-based buffer overflow in QXmlSimpleReader in Qt 4.8.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a xml file with multiple nested open tags.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - WebKit: use-after-free vulnerability in handling of attribute manipulation (CVE-2010-1119)

  - WebKit: off-by-one memory read out of bounds vulnerability in handling of HTML lists (CVE-2010-1773)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit in Apple Safari before 5.0 on Mac OS X 10.5 through 10.6 and     Windows, and before 4.1 on Mac OS X 10.4, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a     denial of service (application crash) via vectors related to the contentEditable attribute and removing     container elements. (CVE-2010-1396)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - qt: segmentation fault in qgifhandler.cpp (CVE-2015-1860)

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

  - The GIF decoder in QtGui in Qt before 5.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL     pointer dereference) via invalid width and height values in a GIF image. (CVE-2014-0190)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - libtiff: Out of bounds read in _TIFFVGetField (CVE-2017-9147)

  - The GIF decoder in QtGui in Qt before 5.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL     pointer dereference) via invalid width and height values in a GIF image. (CVE-2014-0190)

This update fixes CVE-2016-10040, a stack overflow in QXmlSimpleReader due to a too lenient entityCharacterLimit in our version of the patch for CVE-2013-4549. (The limit was increased from the upstream 1024 to 65536 to address QTBUG-35459, an issue where the security fix was breaking existing real-world XML files. Unfortunately, that is too much to actually fit on the CPU stack. This fix decreases the limit to 4096.)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
