Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

elfutils could be made to crash or consume resources if it opened a specially crafted file.

Software Description: - elfutils: collection of utilities to handle ELF objects

Details:

Agostino Sarubbo discovered that elfutils incorrectly handled certain malformed ELF files. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted ELF file, elfutils could be made to crash or consume resources, resulting in a denial of service.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
elfutils 0.165-3ubuntu1.1
libasm1 0.165-3ubuntu1.1
libdw1 0.165-3ubuntu1.1
libelf1 0.165-3ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
elfutils 0.158-0ubuntu5.3
libasm1 0.158-0ubuntu5.3
libdw1 0.158-0ubuntu5.3
libelf1 0.158-0ubuntu5.3

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
