NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cross-riscv64-binutils package and not the cross-riscv64-binutils package as distributed by SLES.

The bfd_section_from_shdr function in elf.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.30, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a large attribute section.
