Oracle Linux: CVE-2018-16062: ELSA-2019-2197: elfutils security, bug fix, and enhancement update (LOW) (Multiple Advisories)
Description
dwarf_getaranges in dwarf_getaranges.c in libdw in elfutils before 2018-08-18 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read) via a crafted file. An out-of-bounds read was discovered in elfutils in the way it reads DWARF address ranges information. Function dwarf_getaranges() in dwarf_getaranges.c does not properly check whether it reads beyond the limits of the ELF section. An attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service via a crafted file.
