4Description
A flaw was found in the GNU Binutils BFD library, a widely used component for handling binary files such as object files and executables. The issue occurs when processing specially crafted XCOFF object files, where a relocation type value is not properly validated before being used. This can cause the program to read memory outside of intended bounds. As a result, affected tools may crash or expose unintended memory contents, leading to denial-of-service or limited information disclosure risks.
Analysis
A specially crafted XCOFF object file can trigger an out-of-bounds memory read in the GNU Binutils BFD library due to improper validation of relocation type values. This affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 6 through 10 and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4, potentially allowing local attackers with user interaction to crash affected tools or disclose sensitive memory contents. …
