Description John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2020-12-27 18:44:52 UTC 
CVE-2020-35448 (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26574):

An issue was discovered in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.35.1. A heap-based buffer over-read can occur in bfd_getl_signed_32 in libbfd.c because sh_entsize is not validated in _bfd_elf_slurp_secondary_reloc_section in elf.c.


Patch: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=8642dafaef21aa6747cec01df1977e9c52eb4679

I don't see this patch in any release.
