NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cross-hppa-binutils package and not the cross-hppa-binutils package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

The coff_slurp_line_table function in coffcode.h in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29.1, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory access and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PE file.
