Binutils is vulnerable to denial of service (DoS) attacks. The vulnerability exists in the _bfd_XX_bfd_copy_private_bfd_data_common function in peXXigen.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library. An unbounded loop in this function may result in an unwritable memory space by increasing the value of the *edd so that the address exceed its own memory region causing an application crash.
