Summary
elfutils vulnerability
Details

Florian Weimer discovered that the elfutils libdw library incorrectly handled malformed compressed debug sections in ELF files. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted ELF file, applications linked against libdw could be made to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
