referenced in the USN-5124-1 advisory.

  - A use after free issue exists in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) in GNU Binutils
    2.34 in bfd_hash_lookup, as demonstrated in nm-new, that can cause a denial of service via a crafted file.
    (CVE-2020-16592)

  - There's a flaw in the BFD library of binutils in versions before 2.36. An attacker who supplies a crafted
    file to an application linked with BFD, and using the DWARF functionality, could cause an impact to system
    availability by way of excessive memory consumption. (CVE-2021-3487)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
