Description Laura Pardo 2018-07-02 22:57:23 UTC 
A flaw was found in The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.30, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (excessive memory allocation and application crash) via a crafted ELF file. This can occur during execution of nm.
