Description Pedro Sampaio 2017-10-06 17:51:47 UTC 
The pe_print_idata function in peXXigen.c in the Binary File Descriptor
(BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29,
mishandles HintName vector entries, which allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application
crash) via a crafted PE file, related to the bfd_getl16 function.
