DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been reported in Qt Creator, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The security issue is caused due to the qtcreator script insecurely
setting the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary code e.g. by tricking a user into
running the script in a directory containing a malicious library.

The security issue affects version 2.0.0 for the Linux/Unix platform.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.0.1.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
