CVE-2019-9071
CVSS v2.0
7.8
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
GNU Binutils version 2.32
Description
The issue is related to a stack consumption problem in the
d count templates scopes function within cp-demangle.c of the GNU libiberty component, which is part of GNU Binutils. This problem occurs after many recursive calls, potentially leading to a denial of service. The vulnerability can be exploited by a remote attacker.Recommendations
For GNU Binutils version 2.32, consider applying a patch or updating to a newer version that addresses the stack consumption issue in the
d count templates scopes function. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the cp-demangle.c component or limiting the depth of recursive calls to d count templates scopes until a patch is available.Exploit
