commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=7a4ce43c03f235f8ad2abcb01271fae2ccfb7979
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2021.02.x

A flaw was found in upx canPack in p_lx_elf.cpp in UPX 3.96. This flaw
allows attackers to cause a denial of service (SEGV or buffer overflow
and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impacts via a
crafted ELF. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system
availability.
