The vulnerability of the elf_link_add_object_symbols function in the GNU Binutils, related to the pointer manipulation involving NULL, allows a malicious actor to trigger a denial-of-service attack.

The vulnerability of the elflinkaddobjectsymbols function elflink.c in the BFD library, which is part of the GNU Binutils, relates to the dereferencing of the NULL pointer for ETDYN files without a program header. Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to cause a service failu...
