Description Andrej Nemec 2016-05-26 12:47:58 UTC 
An out-of-bounds write was found in libdwarf. Test object shows an invalid write in dwarf_elf_access.c (when doing the relocations). Adding the relocation value to anything overflowed and disguised the bad relocation record. With a 32bit kernel build the test could show a double-free and coredump due to the unchecked invalid writes from relocations.
