Descriptions

Heap-based buffer overflow in the pe_print_edata function in bfd/peXXigen.c in GNU binutils 2.24 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly have other unspecified impact via a truncated export table in a PE file.

Desbordamiento de buffer basado en memoria dinámica en la función pe_print_edata en bfd/peXXigen.c en GNU binutils 2.24 y anteriores permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída) y posiblemente tener orto impacto no especificado a través de una tabla de exportación trancada en un fichero PE.

It was found that the fix for the CVE-2014-8485 issue was incomplete: a heap-based buffer overflow in the objdump utility could cause it to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running objdump when processing specially crafted files.
