The process_version_sections function in readelf.c in GNU Binutils 2.29
allows attackers to cause a denial of service (Integer Overflow, and hang
because of a time-consuming loop) or possibly have unspecified other impact
via a crafted binary file with invalid values of ent.vn_next, during
“readelf -a” execution.
