Descriptions

The load_debug_section function in readelf.c in GNU Binutils 2.29.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory access and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an ELF file that lacks section headers.

La función load_debug_section en readelf.c en GNU Binutils 2.29.1 permite que atacantes remotos provoquen una denegación de servicio (acceso no válido a la memoria y cierre inesperado de aplicación) o, probablemente, provocar cualquier otro tipo de impacto mediante un archivo ELF que no tiene cabeceras de sección.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Binutils, the worst of which may allow remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service condition. Versions less than 2.30-r2 are affected.
