Vulnerability Type: DoS 
CWE ID: CWE-399
Summary: The ELF parser (readelf.c) in file before 5.21 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption or crash) via a large number of (1) program or (2) section headers or (3) invalid capabilities.
Commit Message: Stop reporting bad capabilities after the first few.
