Descriptions

The ieee_archive_p function in bfd/ieee.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, might allow 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 this file during "objdump -D" execution. NOTE: this may be related to a compiler bug.

La función ieee_archive_p en el archivo bfd/eee.c en la biblioteca Binary File Descriptor (BFD) (también se conoce como libbfd), tal y como es distribuida en GNU Binutils versión 2.28, podría permitir 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 este archivo durante la ejecución de "objdump -D". NOTA: esto puede estar relacionado a un bug del compilador.

GNU binutils suffers from a bfd_get_string stack buffer overflow vulnerability.
