Descriptions

The bfd_mach_o_read_symtab_strtab function in bfd/mach-o.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29 and earlier, allows remote attackers to cause an out of bounds heap write and possibly achieve code execution via a crafted mach-o file.

La función bfd_mach_o_read_symtab_strtab en bfd/mach-o.c en la librería Binary File Descriptor (BFD), también conocida como libbfd, tal y como se distribuye en GNU Binutils 2.29 y anteriores, permite que atacantes remotos provoquen una lectura de memoria dinámica fuera de límites y, probablemente, logren ejecutar código a través de un archivo mach-o manipulado
