Details

An issue was discovered in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.32. There is a heap-based buffer over-read in bfddoprnt in bfd.c because elfobjectp in elfcode.h mishandles an eshstrndx section of type SHTGROUP by omitting a trailing '\0' character.
