Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
GNU Binutils version 2.29.1
Description
The issue is related to the
bfd elf parse gnu properties function in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library, which does not prevent negative pointers. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an out-of-bounds read and application crash, or possibly have other unspecified impacts via a crafted ELF file. The vulnerability is associated with a buffer overflow in memory, which can be exploited to cause a denial of service.Recommendations
For GNU Binutils version 2.29.1, consider updating to a newer version that addresses this issue, as the current version does not prevent negative pointers, leading to potential out-of-bounds reads and application crashes. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
