<description>
|
|
<p>An integer overflow, in the check_section function of dwarf_begin_elf.c,
|
|
in the libdw library can lead to a heap-based buffer overflow.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file,
|
|
possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges
|
|
of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
