Doc Text:
A flaw was found in jq. The `f_strflocaltime` function in `builtin.c` contains a heap use-after-free vulnerability, which can allow a local attacker to trigger a crash by providing a specially crafted input. This condition arises from the use of freed memory, leading to unpredictable program behavior. The vulnerability can directly result in an application level denial of service.
