Tracker summary

CVE-2018-18520: 1 source package rows (elfutils); 11 state rows across 6 repos (3.11-main, 3.19-main, 3.20-main, 3.21-main, 3.22-main, edge-main); fixed 0, open 11.

Description:

An Invalid Memory Address Dereference exists in the function elf_end in libelf in elfutils through v0.174. Although eu-size is intended to support ar files inside ar files, handle_ar in size.c closes the outer ar file before handling all inner entries. The vulnerability allows attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) with a crafted ELF file.
