Descriptions

The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29, does not validate the PLT section size, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted ELF file, related to elf_i386_get_synthetic_symtab in elf32-i386.c and elf_x86_64_get_synthetic_symtab in elf64-x86-64.c.

La biblioteca Binary File Descriptor (BFD) (también llamada libbfd), tal y como se distribuye en GNU Binutils 2.29, no valida el tamaño de sección PLT, lo que permite que atacantes remotos provoquen una denegación de servicio (sobrelectura de búfer basada en montículos y fallo de la aplicación) mediante un archivo ELF manipulado, relacionado con elf_i386_get_synthetic_symtab en elf32-i386.c y elf_x86_64_get_synthetic_symtab en elf64-x86-64.c.
