Note that someone created various CVEs for #elfutils based on (fixed and closed) bug reports without following our SECURITY policy: https://sourceware.org/cgit/elfutils/tree/SECURITY

These are NOT security issues according to our policy.

We request that people who report suspected security vulnerabilities report them through the contacts in our SECURITY policy and not through non-affiliated CNAs.

Creating random CVEs without coordinating with the upstream project and designated CNA just causes lots of make work.

'"Many #profiling tools on #Linux have previously been limited by their reliance on stack unwinding algorithms that require commonly-used frame pointer optimizations to be disabled. This article introduces eu-stacktrace, a prototype tool that uses the #elfutils toolkit’s unwinding libraries to support a sampling profiler to unwind frame pointer-less stack sample data."'
