Description
A flaw was found in GNU Binutils. This vulnerability, a heap-based buffer overflow, specifically an out-of-bounds read, exists in the bfd linker component.

Successful exploitation may lead to the disclosure of sensitive information or cause the application to crash, resulting in an application level denial of service.
