CVE-2017-14745 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for Debian:9 binutils.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream binutils package and not the binutils package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
The *_get_synthetic_symtab functions in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29, interpret a -1 value as a sorting count instead of an error flag, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file, related to elf32-i386.c and elf64-x86-64.c.
