This was deemed not a vulnerability.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read. The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils, has an aout_link_add_symbols function in bfd/aoutx.h that is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer over-read (off-by-one) because of an incomplete check for invalid string offsets while loading symbols, leading to a GNU linker (ld) program crash.
