Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read due to a buffer overflow in tekhex.c in the objdump tool, which uses the BFD library to parse tekhex files. An attacker can expose 8 bytes located before *bfd_std_section, or cause a crash, by supplying a malformed tekhex file.
