About this tag
CVE-2024-39936 is a timing-related vulnerability in Qt's HTTP/2 handling, disclosed in July 2024. The issue is a race condition where Qt may make security-relevant decisions before a TLS session is fully confirmed, creating a timing gap that can leak confidential data to the wrong endpoint when HTTP/2 and redirects are involved. This is not a cryptographic flaw but a connection establishment timing bug. On WindowsForum.com, discussions cover the technical details of the vulnerability, its impact on applications using Qt's HTTP/2 stack, and potential mitigations for developers and system administrators.
