    Description

      With specially crafted input (found with afl), QXmlStreamReader gets into infinite loop consuming 100% CPU. To reproduce, compile the attached reader.cc and run like this:

      ./reader input.xml

      The second call to reader.readNext() won't return and enter infinite loop.

      When running in gdb and interrupted, the backtrace looks like this:

      (gdb) bt
      #0 0x00001dc2d8b9ae23 in QXmlStreamReaderPrivate::scanUntil () from /usr/local/lib/libQtCore.so.9.0
      #1 0x00001dc2d8ba0c00 in QXmlStreamReaderPrivate::parse () from /usr/local/lib/libQtCore.so.9.0
      #2 0x00001dc2d8ba5279 in QXmlStreamReader::readNext () from /usr/local/lib/libQtCore.so.9.0
      #3 0x00001dc0a2b01935 in main () from /home/ralf/dev/qt/reader
