Summary : The shared library for the Qt 3 GUI toolkit
Description :
Qt is a GUI software toolkit which simplifies the task of writing and
maintaining GUI (Graphical User Interface) applications
for the X Window System.
Qt is written in C++ and is fully object-oriented.
This package contains the shared library needed to run Qt 3
applications, as well as the README files for Qt 3.

Update Information:
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.)
