{"id":"CVE-2017-8393","details":"The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to a global buffer over-read error because of an assumption made by code that runs for objcopy and strip, that SHT_REL/SHR_RELA sections are always named starting with a .rel/.rela prefix. This vulnerability causes programs that conduct an analysis of binary programs using the libbfd library, such as objcopy and strip, to crash.","modified":"2026-07-30T08:13:01.450931Z","published":"2017-05-01T18:59:00.217Z","related":["SUSE-SU-2017:3170-1","SUSE-SU-2018:3207-1","SUSE-SU-2018:3207-2","openSUSE-SU-2024:10651-1"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/201709-02"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21412"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git","events":[{"introduced":"7fa393306ed8b93019d225548474c0540b8928f7"},{"last_affected":"7fa393306ed8b93019d225548474c0540b8928f7"}],"database_specific":{"cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:gnu:binutils:2.28:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","extracted_events":[{"introduced":"2.28"},{"last_affected":"2.28"}],"source":"CPE_STRING"}}],"versions":["2.28","binutils-2_28"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2017-8393.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"}]}
