This vulnerability causes programs that conduct an analysis of binary programs using the libbfd library, such as objcopy and strip, to crash. =================================================== Hyperlink [1] https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21412 [2] https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=bce964aa6c777d236...
