For the oldstable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 3.1-2+deb8u1.

For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 3.2.1-4.

For the testing distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in version 3.2.1-4.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 3.2.1-4.

We recommend that you upgrade your libffi packages.");
