Description Josh Bressers 2005-06-08 17:21:07 EDT

Integer overflow in the BFD library for binutils allows 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 1 Josh Bressers 2005-06-08 17:21:44 EDT

This issue should also affect RHEL2.1 and RHEL3

Comment 8 Josh Bressers 2005-07-29 16:04:41 EDT
