NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libdwarf package and not the libdwarf package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue, also known as DW201703-006, was discovered in libdwarf 2017-03-21. A heap-based buffer over-read in dwarf_formsdata() is due to a failure to check a pointer for being in bounds (in a few places in this function) and a failure in a check in dwarf_attr_list().
