Descriptions
dwarf2.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29, miscalculates DW_FORM_ref_addr die refs in the case of a relocatable object file, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (find_abstract_instance_name invalid memory read, segmentation fault, and application crash).
dwarf2.c en la librería Binary File Descriptor (BFD) (también conocida como libbfd), tal y como viene distribuido en GNU Binutils 2.29, calcula de manera incorrecta las referencias de entradas de información de depuración de DW_FORM_ref_addr en el caso de un archivo objeto reubicable, lo que permite que atacantes remotos provoquen una denegación de servicio (lectura de memoria no válida en find_abstract_instance_name, fallo de segmentación y cierre inesperado de la aplicación).
