NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream elfutils
package and not the elfutils
package as distributed by Debian
.
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).
