Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2018-02-28 21:29 - Updated: 2026-06-17 02:03
Severity
5.5 (Medium) - CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Summary
The assign_file_positions_for_non_load_sections function in elf.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.30, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via an ELF file with a RELRO segment that lacks a matching LOAD segment, as demonstrated by objcopy.
