Description

The ieee_archive_p function in bfd/ieee.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted binary file, as demonstrated by mishandling of this file during "objdump -D" execution. NOTE: this may be related to a compiler bug.

Solution(s)

  • huawei-euleros-2_0_sp3-upgrade-binutils
  • huawei-euleros-2_0_sp3-upgrade-binutils-devel
