My interpretation of the Qt security policy is that qt-4 is unsupported.

"What Version of Qt are Supported?

Fixes are only guaranteed to be provided for:

    The latest released version.

    The preceding minor version.

    Fixes for earlier versions (such as 4.8, 5.0, etc.) may be provided,
    but the qt-project makes no commitment to do so. Other groups such
    as Digia may choose to make such fixes available, but that is
    outside the scope of the qt-project."
