NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gcc-toolset-9-binutils package and not the gcc-toolset-9-binutils package as distributed by RHEL.

An issue was discovered in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.35.1. A heap-based buffer over-read can occur in bfd_getl_signed_32 in libbfd.c because sh_entsize is not validated in _bfd_elf_slurp_secondary_reloc_section in elf.c.
