Gnu · Gnu Binutils · CVE-2018-7569
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
GNU Binutils version 2.30
**Description**
The issue is related to the `parse die` function in the `dwarf2.c` file of the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library, also known as `libbfd`, which is part of GNU Binutils. It allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an integer underflow or overflow and an application crash, by using an ELF file with a corrupt DWARF FORM block.
**Recommendations**
For GNU Binutils version 2.30, consider updating to a newer version that contains a fix for this issue, as the current version is affected by the integer underflow or overflow vulnerability in the `dwarf2.c` file. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the `parse die` function in the `dwarf2.c` file until a patch is available.
