      Description

      According to the Chromium releases blog (and this article in German with some details), an RCE got fixed in Chromium 72.0.3626.121.

      Note that it seems to be exploited already: "Google is aware of reports that an exploit for CVE-2019-5786 exists in the wild.".

      Seeing that it's being actively exploited, this should probably block 5.12.2? See the upstream fix.

      Taking the freedom to also mail security@qt-project.org to make them aware of this - still made a public bug report as the vulnerability in Chromium is public as well.
