Fedora 28: FEDORA-2018-f91531043d Moderate: Elfutils Buffer Over-Read

Elfutils is a collection of utilities, including stack (to show

backtraces), nm (for listing symbols from object files), size

(for listing the section sizes of an object or archive file),

strip (for discarding symbols), readelf (to see the raw ELF file

structures), elflint (to check for well-formed ELF files) and

elfcompress (to compress or decompress ELF sections).

DWARF5 and split dwarf, including GNU DebugFission, support.

* Fri Jun 1 2018 Mark Wielaard - 0.171-1

- New upstream release.

- DWARF5 and split dwarf, including GNU DebugFission, support.

- readelf: Handle all new DWARF5 sections.

--debug-dump=info+ will show split unit DIEs when found.

--dwarf-skeleton can be used when inspecting a .dwo file.

Recognizes GNU locviews with --debug-dump=loc.

- libdw: New functions dwarf_die_addr_die, dwarf_get_units,

dwarf_getabbrevattr_data and dwarf_cu_info.

libdw will now try to resolve the alt file on first use

when not set yet with dwarf_set_alt.

dwarf_aggregate_size() now works with multi-dimensional arrays.

- libdwfl: Use process_vm_readv when available instead of ptrace.

- backends: Add a RISC-V backend.
