The issue is related to a buffer over-read in the
ebl object note() function, which can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial-of-service using a specially crafted ELF file. This can be achieved through the eu-readelf utility.Recommendations
For elfutils version 0.175, consider disabling the
ebl object note() function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the eu-readelf utility to minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploit
