NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libctf-nobfd0 package and not the libctf-nobfd0 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

stab_xcoff_builtin_type in stabs.c in GNU Binutils through 2.37 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact, as demonstrated by an out-of-bounds write. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2018-12699.
