| Description | **Description**
A segv can occur in eu-readelf when using the -D and -a options with a specially crafted input file. This issue leads to buffer-overflow
**Affected Version**
elfutils 0.192
**Steps to Reproduce**
Build elfutils 0.192 with AddressSanitizer (e.g., CFLAGS="-g -fsanitize=address" ./configure && make -j).
