Virtually all Qt based applications will be vulnerable to this.

We've seen the first wave of reports of "X is vulnerable, looking for Y 
librari", but we haven't seen a lot of details or follow-up on where the 
inclusion of the library comes from. Popular libraries and cross-platform 
frameworks that are vulnerable, will in turn affect any product or 
software that uses them.
