Christian Rebischke reports :

libdwarf is vulnerable to multiple issues including arbitrary code execution, information disclosure and denial of service.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - libdwarf: heap-based buffer over-read in dwarf_formsdata() (CVE-2017-9055)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in dwarfdump in libdwarf 20130126 through 20140805 might allow remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (program crash) via a crafted ELF file. (CVE-2014-9482)

  - dwarf_leb.c in libdwarf allows attackers to cause a denial of service (SIGSEGV). (CVE-2015-8538)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.
