Null pointer dereference vulnerability in Binutils readelf 2.38.50 via
function read_and_display_attr_value in file dwarf.c.

Notes

Author Note
seth-arnold binutils isn’t safe for untrusted inputs.
ccdm94 according to the patch referenced in the issue, the dereference happens when the ‘debug_info_p’ variable is referenced but not set in a ‘fetch_indexed_string’ call, in ‘read_and_display_attr_value’. In bionic and earlier, these specific calls (referenced in the patch) are not made sending ‘debug_info_p’ as an argument.
