Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Double Free in the parsing process of specially crafted ELF files with the readelf program. An attacker can cause the application to crash by convincing a user to open a malicious file. This is only exploitable if a user processes an attacker-supplied ELF binary with readelf.
