Unknown-crash in function dwarf::line_table::begin at dwarf/line.cc:153 #71

Description

@bladchan

Hi,

I am running some experiments for AFLAPI and it has found a Unknown-crash in function dwarf::line_table::begin at dwarf/line.cc:153. This bug may allows attackers to cause DoS, so I report it here.

Environment: Ubuntu 18.04 + Clang 6.0

Test target: examples/dump-lines

Testcase here: badelf_unknown_crash.zip

To reproduce:
• Complie the hole project and examples with ASAN

You can use like this: ./dump-lines ./badelf_unknown_crash

🤔 ASAN says:
