Florian Weimer discovered that the elfutils libdw library incorrectly handled malformed compressed debug sections in ELF files. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted ELF file, applications linked against libdw could be made to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
