{"id":"CVE-2017-8397","details":"The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to an invalid read of size 1 and an invalid write of size 1 during processing of a corrupt binary containing reloc(s) with negative addresses. This vulnerability causes programs that conduct an analysis of binary programs using the libbfd library, such as objdump, to crash.","modified":"2026-04-16T06:17:57.699827322Z","published":"2017-05-01T18:59:00.340Z","related":["SUSE-SU-2017:3170-1"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/201709-02"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21434"}],"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-2017-8397.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"}]}
