libdwarf 20151114 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via a debug_abbrev section marked NOBITS in an ELF file.
A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
