  - A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in GNU elfutils 0.192. This affects the
    function process_symtab of the file readelf.c of the component eu-readelf. The manipulation of the
    argument D/a leads to buffer overflow. Local access is required to approach this attack. The exploit has
    been disclosed to the public and may be used. The identifier of the patch is
    5e5c0394d82c53e97750fe7b18023e6f84157b81. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue.
