Descriptions

The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to a global buffer over-read error because of an assumption made by code that runs for objcopy and strip, that SHT_REL/SHR_RELA sections are always named starting with a .rel/.rela prefix. This vulnerability causes programs that conduct an analysis of binary programs using the libbfd library, such as objcopy and strip, to crash.

La biblioteca Binary File Descriptor (BFD) (también conocida como libbfd), tal como se distribuye en GNU Binutils 2.28, es vulnerable a una sobre lectura del búfer global, debido a una suposición hecha por código que se ejecuta para objcopy y strip, basada en que las secciones SHT_REL/SHR_RELA son siempre nombradas comenzando por el prefijo .rel/.rela. Esta vulnerabilidad hace que los programas que realizan un análisis de los programas binarios utilizando la biblioteca libbfd, tal como objcopy y strip, se bloquen.
