Descriptions

In elfutils 0.175, a negative-sized memcpy is attempted in elf_cvt_note in libelf/note_xlate.h because of an incorrect overflow check. Crafted elf input causes a segmentation fault, leading to denial of service (program crash).

En elfutils 0.175, se intenta realizar un memcpy de tamaño negativo en elf_cvt_note en libelf/note_xlate.h debido a una comprobación de desbordamiento incorrecta. Las entradas elf manipuladas provocan un fallo de segmentación, que conduce a una denegación de servicio (cierre inesperado del programa).
