NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cross-epiphany-binutils package and not the cross-epiphany-binutils package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

dwarf2.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.30, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer underflow or overflow, and application crash) via an ELF file with a corrupt DWARF FORM block, as demonstrated by nm.
