Descriptions
GNU Binutils 2017-04-03 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash), related to the process_mips_specific function in readelf.c, via a crafted ELF file that triggers a large memory-allocation attempt.
GNU Binutils 2017-04-03 permite que atacantes remotos provoquen una denegación de servicio (desreferencia de puntero NULL y cierre inesperado de la aplicación). Esto está relacionado con la función process_mips_specific en readelf.c, mediante un archivo ELF manipulado que da lugar a un intento de asignación de memoria de gran tamaño.
