Descriptions

apply_relocations in readelf.c in GNU Binutils 2.32 contains an integer overflow that allows attackers to trigger a write access violation (in byte_put_little_endian function in elfcomm.c) via an ELF file, as demonstrated by readelf.

La función apply_relocations en el archivo readelf.c en Binutils de GNU versión 2.32, contiene un desbordamiento de enteros que permite a los atacantes desencadenar una violación de acceso de escritura (en la función byte_put_little_endian en el archivo elfcomm.c) por medio de un archivo ELF, como es demostrado por readelf.

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.
