A malformed section in an ELF binary or a core file can cause GDB to repeatedly allocate memory until a process limit is reached. This can, for example, impede efforts to analyze malware with GDB."

Una secci\u00f3n mal formada en un binario ELF o un archivo core puede hacer que GDB asigne memoria repetidamente hasta que se alcance el l\u00edmite de un proceso. Esto puede, por ejemplo, evitar que se analice malware con GDB."
