GNU Binutils Binary File Descriptor library 'elf_link_input_bfd' function null pointer dereference vulnerability

GNU Binutils a.k.a. GNU Binary Utilities or binutils is a set of programming language utilities developed by the GNU Project to work with object files in a variety of formats, with connectors, assemblers, and other tools for object files and archives.The Binary File Descriptor BFD library a.k.a...

Null pointer dereference

An issue was discovered in elflinkinputbfd in elflink.c in the Binary File Descriptor BFD library aka libbfd, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.31. There is a NULL pointer dereference in elflinkinputbfd when used for finding STTTLS symbols without any TLS section. A specially crafted ELF allows...
