Subject: Heap-based buffer overflow in libdw/elfutils (CVE-2014-0172)
The compressed debug information support in libdw does not handle
malformed compressed debug sections properly. When computing the size
of a memory region, integer wraparound is not taken into account,
resulting in a heap allocation that is smaller than expected and which
is subsequently filled with arbitrary decompressed data:

We have assigned CVE-2014-0172 to this issue.
