Integer overflow in cp-demangle.c in libiberty allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault and crash) via a crafted binary, related to inconsistent use of the long and int types for lengths.
Desbordamiento de búfer en cp-demangle.c en libiberty permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (error de segmentación y caída) a través de un binario manipulado, relacionado con uso inconsistente de los tipos largo e int para longitudes.
It was discovered that libiberty incorrectly handled certain string operations. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted binary, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause libiberty to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. It was discovered that libiberty incorrectly handled parsing certain binaries.
