VirtualBox 6.0.10 segfaults at startup on CentOS 7.6

Description
> VirtualBox Segmentation fault >
Kernel logs this:
UINetworkReplyP[15063]: segfault at 2ad601cd1550 ip 00002ad629dc4f7e sp 00002ad6296ee2f8 error 7 in libkdecore.so.5.14.8[2ad629d20000+2b9000]
My understanding is that 6.0.10 now somehow manages to load libkdecore.so.5.14.8 which is from KDE4. (I'm not using KDE4, I just have some KDE programs installed.)
First guess is it's triggered from here:
Downgrading to 6.0.8 makes Virtualbox work again.

I wonder whether this should be considered a bug in CentOS? EPEL seems to contain Qt5, so it is use case which ought to work.

Actually the main CentOS repository has Qt 5.9:

RHEL/CentOS/OL have both qt4 and qt5 which can be installed in parallel. But there is only KDE4 which is qt4-based.
It seems VirtualBox is now using libproxy, which contains a KDE4 module. This KDE4 module depends on Qt4 and loading it into a Qt5 program results in a segfault.
Workaround: yum remove libproxy-kde
