Descriptions

The disassemble_bytes function in objdump.c in GNU Binutils 2.28 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted binary file, as demonstrated by mishandling of rae insns printing for this file during "objdump -D" execution.

La función disassemble_bytes en el archivo objdump.c en GNU Binutils versión 2.28, permite a los atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de búfer y bloqueo de aplicación) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado por medio de un archivo binario especialmente diseñado, como es demostrado por el manejo inapropiado de la impresión rae insns para este archivo durante la ejecución de "objdump -D".

GNU binutils suffers from a disassemble_bytes heap overflow vulnerability.
