Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Resource Shutdown or Release through the elf_strptr function. An attacker can cause the application to crash by manipulating the input data to this function.
Note: The project maintainers do not consider this a vulnerability, based on the following clause in the project's security policy: "Since most elfutils tools are run in short-lived, local, interactive, development context rather than remotely 'in production', we generally treat malfunctions as ordinary bugs rather than security vulnerabilities."
