Comment 2 Alexander Bergmann 2023-08-24 11:32:22 UTC 
Note: Do not trust data from unknown sources. Do not assemble/disassemble binaries from unknown sources without a sandbox environment that protects you from possible attacks.

In general: This is not a severe issue. It can only be exploited if general security measurements and best practices are not followed.
