Updated qt3 packages fix security vulnerabilities:
QXmlSimpleReader in Qt versions prior to 5.2 supports expansion of internal entities in XML documents without placing restrictions to ensure the document does not cause excessive memory usage. If an application using this API processes untrusted data then the application may use unexpected amounts of memory if a malicious document is processed (CVE-2013-4549).
