Binutils is vulnerable to denial of service (DoS) attacks. The vulnerability exists in the ignore_section_sym function in elf.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library because it does not validate the output_section pointer in the case of a symtab entry with a “SECTION” type that has a “0” value. An attacker could cause an application crash via a crafted file.
