Descriptions
GNU Debugger (GDB) 8.0 and earlier fails to detect a negative length field in a DWARF section. A malformed section in an ELF binary or a core file can cause GDB to repeatedly allocate memory until a process limit is reached. This can, for example, impede efforts to analyze malware with GDB.
GNU Debugger (GDB) en versiones 8.0 y anteriores no detecta un campo de longitud negativa en una sección DWARF. Una sección mal formada en un binario ELF o un archivo core puede hacer que GDB asigne memoria repetidamente hasta que se alcance el límite de un proceso. Esto puede, por ejemplo, evitar que se analice malware con GDB.
