Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
GNU Binutils version 2.29
Description
The issue concerns a buffer overflow in the
elf read notes function, located in bfd/elf.c, which can be triggered by a crafted binary file. This can lead to a denial of service, causing the application to crash. Additionally, it may have other unspecified impacts, potentially allowing remote attackers to access or modify confidential data.Recommendations
For GNU Binutils version 2.29, consider disabling the
elf read notes function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to crafted binary files to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.DoS
