This vulnerability causes programs that conduct an analysis of binary programs using the libbfd library, such as objcopy, to crash. ==================================================== Hyperlink [1] https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21431 [2] https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=e63d123268f23a4cb...
