Descriptions

coffgen.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29.1, does not validate the symbol count, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and application crash, or excessive memory allocation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PE file.

coffgen.c en la biblioteca Binary File Descriptor (BFD), conocida como libbfd, tal y como se distribuye en GNU Binutils 2.29.1 no valida el recuento de símbolos, lo que permite que atacantes remotos provoquen una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de enteros y cierre inesperado de la aplicación o asignación excesiva de memoria) o, posiblemente, otro impacto sin especificar mediante un archivo PE manipulado.
