CVE-2017-7303 (GCVE-0-2017-7303)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2017-03-29 15:00 – Updated: 2024-08-05 15:56

Summary

The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to an invalid read (of size 4) because of missing a check (in the find_link function) for null headers before attempting to match them. This vulnerability causes Binutils utilities like strip to crash.

Severity

CNVD-2017-04731

Vulnerability from cnvd - Published: 2017-04-20

Title

GNU Binutils Binary File Descriptor远程拒绝服务漏洞

Description

GNU Binutils（又名GNU Binary Utilities或binutils）是GNU计划开发的一组编程语言工具程序，它主要用于处理多种格式的目标文件，并提供有连接器、汇编器和其他用于目标文件和档案的工具。Binary File Descriptor（BFD）library（又名libbfd）是其中的一个以各种格式便携式操作对象文件的库。 GNU Binutils 2.28版本中的BFD库存在安全漏洞，该漏洞源于程序匹配之前未能验证头信息。攻击者可利用该漏洞造成Binutils实用程序崩溃。
