NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream lua5.2 package and not the lua5.2 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Lua 5.4.0 (fixed in 5.4.1) has a segmentation fault in changedline in ldebug.c (e.g., when called by luaG_traceexec) because it incorrectly expects that an oldpc value is always updated upon a return of the flow of control to a function.
