Descriptions
The srec_scan function in bfd/srec.c in libdbfd in GNU binutils before 2.25 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a small S-record.
La función srec_scan en bfd/srec.c en libdbfd en GNU binutils anterior a 2.25 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (lectura fuera de rango) a través de un S-record pequeño.
An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the strings utility processed certain files. If a user were tricked into running the strings utility on a specially crafted file, it could cause the strings executable to crash.
