Descriptions

The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to an invalid read of size 4 due to NULL pointer dereferencing of _bfd_elf_large_com_section. This vulnerability causes programs that conduct an analysis of binary programs using the libbfd library, such as objcopy, 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 lectura no válida de tamaño 4 referenciando a un puntero NULL de _bfd_elf_large_com_section. Esta vulnerabilidad hace que los programas que realizan un análisis de los programas binarios utilizando la biblioteca libbfd, como objcopy, se bloqueen.
