CVE-2017-14745
Last modified
CVE-2017-14745 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The *_get_synthetic_symtab functions in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29, interpret a -1 value as a sorting count instead of an error flag, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file, related to elf32-i386.c and elf64-x86-64.c.. EPSS estimates a 1.20% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
