Created attachment 723327 [details] 21431_upstream_crash_info Ref: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-8395 ==================================================== Description The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to an invalid write of size 8 because of missing a malloc() return-value check to see if memory had actually been allocated in the _bfd_generic_get_section_contents function. 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=e63d123268f23a4cbc45ee55fb6dbc7d84729da3 (see https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21431#c2) (open-)SUSE: https://software.opensuse.org/package/binutils 2.28 (TW, official repo) 2.26.1 (42.{1,2}, official repo)
