Last modified

CVE-2005-1704 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer overflow in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library for gdb before 6.3, binutils, elfutils, and possibly other packages, allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted object file that specifies a large number of section headers, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.. EPSS estimates a 0.60% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
