Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libdwarf versions 20151114 and earlier

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference and crash. This can be achieved via a debug abbrev section marked NOBITS in an ELF file.

Recommendations For libdwarf versions 20151114 and earlier, consider updating to a version later than 20151114 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, restrict the processing of ELF files with a debug abbrev section marked NOBITS to minimize the risk of exploitation.
