Two Qt security advisories: GDI Font Engine & WebP image format

An issue on Windows with the GDI font engine has been reported and has been assigned the CVE id CVE-2023-43114.

When corrupt font data is passed to the GDI font engine via QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont[FromData] then it can trigger a crash in the application.

Solution: As a workaround, validate that the font is safe to use beforehand. Or apply the following patch or update to Qt 5.15.16, Qt 6.2.10, Qt 6.5.3, Qt 6.6.0

An issue in the libwebp library has been recently reported and assigned the CVE id CVE-2023-4863.
