A security issue was found in the BFD library of binutils before version 2.36. read_section() in dwarf2.c of BFD could cause excessive memory consumption when handling corrupt DWARF debug sections. This could lead to an impact to system availability, denial of service, and/or a crash in applications linked with the BFD library's DWARF functionality if they parse files from untrusted sources.
