[ol7_software_collections] devtoolset-8-elfutils-devel-0.174-1.el7.x86_64

The elfutils-devel package contains the libraries to create
applications for handling compiled objects.  libebl provides some
higher-level ELF access functionality.  libdw provides access to
the DWARF debugging information.  libasm provides a programmable
assembler interface.

• Fri Sep 14 2018 Mark Wielaard <mjw@redhat.com> - 0.174-1

  - New upstream release
    - libelf, libdw and all tools now handle extended shnum and shstrndx
      correctly
    - elfcompress: Don't rewrite input file if no section data needs
      updating.  Try harder to keep same file mode bits (suid) on rewrite.
    - strip: Handle mixed (out of order) allocated/non-allocated sections.
    - unstrip: Handle SHT_GROUP sections.
    - Fixes CVE-2018-16062, CVE-2018-16402 and CVE-2018-16403.

• Wed Jul 04 2018 Mark Wielaard <mjw@redhat.com> - 0.173-1

  - New upstream release
    - More fixes for crashes and hangs found by afl-fuzz. In particular
      various functions now detect and break infinite loops caused by bad
      DIE tree cycles.
    - readelf: Will now lookup the size and signedness of constant value
      types to display them correctly (and not just how they were encoded).
    - libdw: New function dwarf_next_lines to read CU-less .debug_line data.
      dwarf_begin_elf now accepts ELF files containing just .debug_line
      or .debug_frame sections (which can be read without needing a DIE
      tree from the .debug_info section).
      Removed dwarf_getscn_info, which was never implemented.
    - backends: Handle BPF simple relocations.
      The RISCV backends now handles ABI specific CFI and knows about
      RISCV register types and names.
  
  - Add scl macros and elfutils-0.173-dts.patch.

• Wed Jun 20 2018 Mark Wielaard <mjw@fedoraproject.org> - 0.172-2

  - Add elfutils-0.172-robustify.patch.

• Mon Jun 11 2018 Mark Wielaard <mjw@fedoraproject.org> - 0.172-1

  - New upstream release.
    - No functional changes compared to 0.171.
    - Various bug fixes in libdw and eu-readelf dealing with bad DWARF5
      data. Thanks to running the afl fuzzer on eu-readelf and various
      testcases.
    - eu-readelf -N is ~15% faster.

• Fri Jun 01 2018 Mark Wielaard <mjw@fedoraproject.org> - 0.171-1

  - New upstream release.
    - DWARF5 and split dwarf, including GNU DebugFission, support.
    - readelf: Handle all new DWARF5 sections.
      --debug-dump=info+ will show split unit DIEs when found.
      --dwarf-skeleton can be used when inspecting a .dwo file.
      Recognizes GNU locviews with --debug-dump=loc.
    - libdw: New functions dwarf_die_addr_die, dwarf_get_units,
      dwarf_getabbrevattr_data and dwarf_cu_info.
      libdw will now try to resolve the alt file on first use
      when not set yet with dwarf_set_alt.
      dwarf_aggregate_size() now works with multi-dimensional arrays.
    - libdwfl: Use process_vm_readv when available instead of ptrace.
    - backends: Add a RISC-V backend.
