Buffer Overflow
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

An issue, also known as DW201703-006, was discovered in libdwarf 2017-03-21. A heap-based buffer over-read in dwarfformsdata() is due to a failure to check a pointer for being in bounds (in a few places in this function) and a failure in a check in dwarfattrlist().
