Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
GNU Binutils version 2.28
Description
The issue is related to a heap-based buffer overflow in the GNU linker (ld) when processing a malformed input script. This occurs due to the lack of '0' termination of a name field in ldlex.l, leading to a program crash.
Recommendations
For GNU Binutils version 2.28, consider updating to a newer version that addresses this issue, as the current version is affected by the heap-based buffer overflow.
