CVE-2014-8501  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:unstable gdb.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gdb package and not the gdb package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The _bfd_XXi_swap_aouthdr_in function in bfd/peXXigen.c in GNU binutils 2.24 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) and possibly have other unspecified impact via a crafted NumberOfRvaAndSizes field in the AOUT header in a PE executable.
