Subject: pax-utils: dumpelf: out of bounds read in dump_notes (dumpelf.c)
Description:
pax-utils is a set of tools that check files for security relevant properties.
A fuzz on dumpelf an out of bounds read. It was reported to vapier which fixed
the issue immediately.
Unfortunately I can’t get a symbolized ASan stacktrace, so I will show only
the useful part of both asan and gdb.
This is not CVE-worthy because of the “READ of size 1” in a command-line tool.
I’m sharing it because some distro/packagers may want to have the patch
aboard.
