CVE-2017-13757
Last modified
CVE-2017-13757 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29, does not validate the PLT section size, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted ELF file, related to elf_i386_get_synthetic_symtab in elf32-i386.c and elf_x86_64_get_synthetic_symtab in elf64-x86-64.c.. EPSS estimates a 1.47% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
