From 15635eb807ea1cbf0fd04e0cbe9cf169df107a05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yash Shinde Date: Thu, 12 Dec 2024 06:37:15 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] binutils: Fix CVE-2024-53589 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in GNU Binutils’ objdump utility when processing tekhex format files. The vulnerability occurs in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library’s tekhex parser during format identification. Specifically, the issue manifests when attempting to read 8 bytes at an address that precedes the global variable ‘_bfd_std_section’, resulting in an out-of-bounds read. Backport a patch from upstream to fix CVE-2024-53589.
