Comment 2 Nick Clifton 2018-05-30 09:13:23 UTC

This is just a minor CVE which can cause the objdump program to crash if it is fed a specially corrupted ELF format file.  Proper ELF files do not trigger this
problem.  The bug has been fixed upstream and will be in the next Fedora release, and as such it does not seem worth back-porting the patch to this release.
