NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream elixir package and not the elixir package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Elixir 0.8.0 uses Blowfish in CFB mode without constructing a unique initialization vector (IV), which makes it easier for context-dependent users to obtain sensitive information and decrypt the database.
