Description
The issue is related to an out-of-bounds read in the
nlist.c file of the libbsd library. This occurs during a comparison for a symbol name from the string table (strtab). The exploitation of this issue may allow a remote attacker to access confidential data and cause a denial of service.Recommendations
For libbsd versions prior to 0.10.0, update to version 0.10.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to sensitive data handled by the libbsd library until the update is applied.
