Several vulnerabilities were discovered in dwarfutils, a tool and library for reading/consuming and writing/producing DWARF debugging information. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following issues :
CVE-2015-8538
A specially crafted ELF file can cause a segmentation fault.
CVE-2015-8750
A specially crafted ELF file can cause a NULL pointer dereference.
CVE-2016-2050
Out-of-bounds write
CVE-2016-2091
Out-of-bounds read
CVE-2016-5034
Out-of-bounds write
CVE-2016-5036
Out-of-bounds read
CVE-2016-5038
Out-of-bounds read
CVE-2016-5039
Out-of-bounds read
CVE-2016-5042
A specially crafted DWARF section can cause an infinite loop, reading from increasing memory addresses until the application crashes.
For Debian 7 ‘Wheezy’, these problems have been fixed in version 20120410-2+deb7u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your dwarfutils packages.
