NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream binutils-devel package and not the binutils-devel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The C++ symbol demangler routine in cplus-dem.c in libiberty, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (excessive memory allocation and application crash) via a crafted file, as demonstrated by a call from the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd).
