Uncontrolled recursion vulnerability in Qt SVG 
CVE-2025-10728


Affected versions: From Qt 6.7.0 to 6.8.4 and from 6.9.0 to 6.9.2.

Impact: When the module renders a Svg file that contains a <pattern> element, it might end up rendering it recursively leading to stack overflow DoS.

CVSS 4.0 Score: 9.4

Mitigation: Ensure that all input to the Qt SVG module is only from trusted sources.

Solution: Apply the following patch or update to Qt 6.9.3 or 6.8.5

Patches:

dev: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtsvg/+/654200
Qt 6.9: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtsvg/+/670894 or https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/6.9/CVE-2025-10728-qtsvg-6.9.diff
Qt 6.8: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/tqtc-qtsvg/+/671537 or https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/6.8/CVE-2025-10728-qtsvg-6.8.diff


Use-After-Free vulnerability in Qt SVG 
CVE-2025-10729


Affected versions: From Qt 6.7.0 to 6.8.4 and from 6.9.0 to 6.9.2.

Impact: When the module parses a <pattern> node which is not a child of a structural node, the node gets deleted after creation but might be accessed later leading to a use after free.

CVSS 4.0 Score: 9.4

Mitigation: Ensure that all input to the Qt SVG module is only from trusted sources.

Solution: Apply the following patch or update to Qt 6.9.3 or 6.8.5
