In GNU Binutils 2.30, there's an integer overflow in the function load_specific_debug_section() in objdump.c, which results in `malloc()` with 0 size. A crafted ELF file allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact.
En GNU Binutils 2.30, hay un desbordamiento de enteros en la función load_specific_debug_section() en objdump.c, que resulta en "malloc()" con tamaño 0. Un archivo ELF manipulado permite que atacantes remotos provoquen una denegación de servicio (cierre inesperado de la aplicación) o, posiblemente, otro impacto sin especificar.
USN-4336-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in GNU binutils. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 16.04 ESM. It was discovered that GNU binutils contained a large number of security issues. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially-crafted file, a remote attacker could cause GNU binutils to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
