NVD Description

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

A flaw was found in the GNU Binutils (Binary Utilities) linker. This vulnerability, a heap-buffer-overflow read (CWE-125), occurs when the linker processes a specially crafted 32-bit XCOFF (Extended Common Object File Format) object file. An attacker could exploit this by providing a malicious file, leading to an out-of-bounds read of memory. This can result in information disclosure, potentially revealing sensitive heap data, and a Denial of Service (DoS) due to the linker crashing.
