How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable dwarfutils to version 20161124-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dwarfutils package and not the dwarfutils package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the _dwarf_skim_forms function in libdwarf/dwarf_macro5.c in Libdwarf before 20161124 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read).
