NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream binutils package and not the binutils package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The display_debug_ranges function in dwarf.c in GNU Binutils 2.30 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, as demonstrated by objdump.
