NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mingw-binutils-generic package and not the mingw-binutils-generic package as distributed by Centos.

stab_xcoff_builtin_type in stabs.c in GNU Binutils through 2.37 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact, as demonstrated by an out-of-bounds write. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2018-12699.
