Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GNU Binutils version 2.30
Description The issue is related to stack exhaustion in the C++ demangling functions provided by libiberty, specifically in the demangle template value parm, demangle integral value, and demangle expression functions. This can lead to a denial of service.
Recommendations For GNU Binutils version 2.30, consider updating to a newer version that addresses this issue. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of the demangling functions to minimize the risk of exploitation.
