NVD Description

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

In elfutils 0.175, there is a buffer over-read in the ebl_object_note function in eblobjnote.c in libebl. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial-of-service via a crafted elf file, as demonstrated by eu-readelf.
