MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 2.21%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.21%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

A heap-based buffer over-read was discovered in the function read_srclines in dwarf_getsrclines.c in libdw in elfutils 0.175. A crafted input can cause segmentation faults, leading to denial-of-service, as demonstrated by eu-nm.
