Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: GNU Binutils version 2.29.1

Description: The issue is related to the load debug section function in the readelf.c component of GNU Binutils, which is associated with a buffer overflow in memory. This can be exploited by a remote attacker using a specially crafted ELF file, potentially allowing access to confidential data, disrupting data integrity, and causing a denial of service through invalid memory access and application crash.

Recommendations: For GNU Binutils version 2.29.1, consider restricting the use of the load debug section function until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid processing ELF files from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
