NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream valgrind package and not the valgrind package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Integer overflow in cp-demangle.c in libiberty allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault and crash) via a crafted binary, related to inconsistent use of the long and int types for lengths.
