CVE-2020-24826

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Libelfin version 0.3

Description The issue is related to insufficient neutralization of special elements in a request, specifically in the elf::section::as strtab function of the Libelfin library for reading ELF and DWARFv4 files. This allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DOS) through a segmentation fault by using a specially crafted ELF file.

Recommendations For Libelfin version 0.3, consider avoiding the use of the elf::section::as strtab function until a patch is available, or restrict access to crafted ELF files to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
