Comment 1 Stephen Herr 2018-08-16 16:21:15 UTC

MITRE description:

Integer overflow in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library for gdb before 6.3, binutils, elfutils, and possibly other packages, allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted object file that specifies a large number of section headers, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.

Comment 2 Stephen Herr 2019-06-13 19:23:55 UTC

Statement:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 is not vulnerable to this issue as it contains a backported patch.
