    1) Introduction
    ===============
    
    
    From vendor's website:
    "Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework.
    Using Qt, you can write web-enabled applications once and deploy them
    across desktop, mobile and embedded operating systems without rewriting
    the source code."

    2) Bug
    ======
    
    
    The part of the network library which handles the SSL connection can be
    tricked into an endless loop that freezes the whole application with
    CPU at 100%.
    
    The problem is located in the QSslSocketBackendPrivate::transmit()
    function in src_network_ssl_qsslsocket_openssl.cpp that never exits
    from the main "while" loop.
    
    Any application that acts as a server (and client, but has no security
    impact in this scenario) and uses SSL through the QSslSocket class is
    vulnerable and some examples are the Mumble server (Murmur),
    Multi-Computer Virtual Whiteboard and so on.
