No evidence of memory corruption or code execution was observed.\nA flaw was found in binutils. Processing a specially crafted ELF binary file containing malformed DWARF .debug_rnglists data with the readelf program can trigger an infinite loop and result in a denial of service.\nThis issue is classified with a low severity primarily because binutils is not typically exposed to untrusted inputs in most environments, limiting the possibility of exploitation. Additionally, this infinite loop is only triggered during the parsing of a specially crafted file, requiring an attacker to convince a user to process this file with readelf. Furthermore, binutils does not handle privileged operations, meaning that exploitation is unlikely to lead to system compromise or escalation of privileges.
