the HX_split function. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a
denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user.

The default compiler options for affected releases should reduce the
vulnerability to a denial of service.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues."
