Descriptions
The ebl_object_note_type_name function in eblobjnotetypename.c in elfutils 0.168 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted ELF file.
La función ebl_object_note_type_name en eblobjnotetypename.c en elfutils 0.168 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (sobre lectura de búfer basado en memoria dinámica y caída de la aplicación) a través de un archivo ELF manipulado.
Agostino Sarubbo discovered that elfutils incorrectly handled certain malformed ELF files. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted ELF file, elfutils could be made to crash or consume resources, resulting in a denial of service.
