GNU libiberty CVE-2018-20673 Integer Overflow Vulnerability

GNU libiberty is prone to an integer overflow vulnerability because it fails to adequately bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.

GNU Binutils 2.31.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
