Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read due to improper handling of certain debug information in the debug_type_samep function of the /binutils/debug.c file. An attacker can cause memory corruption by manipulating the input data to this function. This is only exploitable if the attacker has the ability to modify the debug information processed by objdump.
