NULL Pointer Dereference

Affecting binutils package, versions *

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to NULL Pointer Dereference. There's a flaw in bfd_pef_parse_function_stubs of bfd/pef.c in binutils in versions prior to 2.34 which could allow an attacker who is able to submit a crafted file to be processed by objdump to cause a NULL pointer dereference. The greatest threat of this flaw is to application availability.

Remediation

There is no fixed version for binutils.
