Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Algorithms - C versions through e5dad3f

Description The issue is related to a segmentation fault caused by deep recursion in the binary insertion sort.c file. This may impact common use cases, such as sorting an array of 50 elements.

Recommendations For versions through e5dad3f, consider revising the binary insertion sort function to prevent deep recursion, potentially by implementing an iterative approach or optimizing the recursive calls to avoid stack overflow.
