NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream elfutils-default-yama-scope package and not the elfutils-default-yama-scope package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

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).
