{"id":"CVE-2017-7304","details":"The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to an invalid read (of size 8) because of missing a check (in the copy_special_section_fields function) for an invalid sh_link field before attempting to follow it. This vulnerability causes Binutils utilities like strip to crash.","modified":"2026-04-10T04:02:04.061641Z","published":"2017-03-29T15:59:00.317Z","related":["MGASA-2019-0169","SUSE-SU-2017:3170-1","SUSE-SU-2018:3207-1","SUSE-SU-2018:3207-2","openSUSE-SU-2024:10651-1"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/97215"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20931"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"7fa393306ed8b93019d225548474c0540b8928f7"}],"database_specific":{"versions":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"2.28"}]}}],"versions":["binutils-2_28","gdb-4_18-branchpoint","gdb-7.10-branchpoint","gdb-7.11-branchpoint","gdb-7.12-branchpoint","gdb-7.7-branchpoint","gdb-7.8-branchpoint","gdb-7.9-branchpoint","gdb_5_2-branchpoint","gdb_5_3-branchpoint","gdb_6_0-branchpoint","gdb_6_1-branchpoint","gdb_6_2-branchpoint","gdb_6_3-branchpoint","gdb_6_4-branchpoint","gdb_6_5-branchpoint","gdb_6_6-branchpoint","gdb_6_7-branchpoint","gdb_6_8-branchpoint","gdb_7_0-branchpoint","gdb_7_1-branchpoint","gdb_7_2-branchpoint","gdb_7_3-branchpoint","gdb_7_4-branchpoint","gdb_7_5-branchpoint","gdb_7_6-branchpoint","users/ARM/embedded-binutils-2_28-branch-2017q1","users/ARM/embedded-binutils-master-2016q4"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2017-7304.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
