Description Andrej Nemec 2018-05-22 12:35:22 UTC
PackLinuxElf64::unpack in p_lx_elf.cpp in UPX 3.95 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (double free), limit the ability of a malware scanner to operate on the entire original data, or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file.
