An integer underflow was found in the popt library when formatting help text for option tables that exceed the terminal width. A local user who can cause an application to print help under those conditions may cause that application to crash or fail to display help, resulting in a denial of service of the affected application.
NOTE: This is an automated issue created based on the library metadata. Osquery may or may not be affected.
