NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream binutils-debugsource package and not the binutils-debugsource package as distributed by RHEL.

A potential heap based buffer overflow was found in _bfd_elf_slurp_version_tables() in bfd/elf.c. This may lead to loss of availability.
