Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Buffer Overflow via the function _bfd_elf_write_section_eh_frame when processing malformed .eh_frame data. An attacker can achieve code execution or cause a crash by supplying crafted input that manipulates the cie_length, fde_length, augmentation_data_size, or write_offset arguments.
