{"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":"2026-03-14T02:47:29.984640Z","published":"2017-05-01T18:59:00.217Z","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":"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":"0"},{"last_affected":"7fa393306ed8b93019d225548474c0540b8928f7"}],"database_specific":{"versions":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"2.28"}]}}],"versions":["binu_ss_19990502","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","readline_4_0","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-2017-8393.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"}]}
