**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** GNU Compiler Collection (gcc) version 4.1 **Description** The issue is related to the `fold binary` function in `fold-const.c`, which improperly handles pointer overflow when folding a certain expression comparison to a corresponding offset comparison in cases other than `EQ EXPR` and `NE EXPR`. This might introduce buffer overflow vulnerabilities into applications that could be exploited by context-dependent attackers. The vendor states that the essence of the issue is not correctly interpreting an offset to a pointer as a signed value. **Recommendations** For GNU Compiler Collection (gcc) version 4.1, at the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
