Descriptions
The setup_group function in bfd/elf.c in libbfd in GNU binutils 2.24 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted section group headers in an ELF file.
La función setup_group en bfd/elf.c en libbfd en GNU binutils 2.24 y anteriores permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída) y posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de cabeceras de grupo de sección manipuladas en un fichero ELF.
A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way various binutils utilities processed certain files. If a user were tricked into processing a specially crafted file, it could cause the utility used to process that file to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running that utility.
