Description Mark J. Cox 2005-07-27 10:01:09 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #159894, this bug
specifically for RHEL3U6 +++

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.
