Descriptions

Stack-based buffer overflow in the ihex_scan function in bfd/ihex.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 crafted ihex file.

Desbordamiento de buffer basado en pila en la función ihex_scan en bfd/ihex.c en GNU binutils 2.24 y anteriores permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída) y posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de un fichero ihex manipulado.

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way objdump processed IHEX files. A specially crafted IHEX file could cause objdump to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running objdump.
