Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Infinite loop through the DWARF parsing process. An attacker can cause the application to enter an infinite output loop by providing a specially crafted binary with malformed DWARF loclists data, resulting in excessive CPU and I/O consumption and preventing the analysis from completing.
