Descriptions
The _bfd_slurp_extended_name_table function in bfd/archive.c in GNU binutils 2.24 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid write, segmentation fault, and crash) via a crafted extended name table in an archive.
La función _bfd_slurp_extended_name_table en bfd/archive.c en GNU binutils 2.24 y anteriores permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (escritura inválida, fallo de segmentación y caída) a través de una tabla extendida de nombres manipulada en un archivo.
A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way certain binutils utilities processed archive files. If a user were tricked into processing a specially crafted archive file, it could cause the utility used to process that archive to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running that utility.
