"The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201701-40
(xdelta: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)

    A buffer overflow can be triggered within xdelta when ran against a
      malicious input file.
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could coerce the victim to run xdelta against a
      malicious input file. This may be leveraged by an attacker to crash
      xdelta and gain control of program execution.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.");
