| The mq_notify function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc) through 2.33
| has a use-after-free. It may use the notification thread attributes
| object (passed through its struct sigevent parameter) after it has
| been freed by the caller, leading to a denial of service (application
| crash) or possibly unspecified other impact.
