Description Pedro Sampaio 2017-07-11 14:34:47 UTC 
The disassemble_bytes function in objdump.c in GNU Binutils 2.28 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted binary file, as demonstrated by mishandling of rae insns printing for this file during "objdump -D" execution.
