Buffer overflow in the (1) DWARF (dwarfread.c) and (2) DWARF2 (dwarf2read.c) debugging code in GNU Debugger (GDB) 6.5 allows user-assisted attackers, or restricted users, to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file with a location block (DW_FORM_block)…

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.43%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
