CVE-2006-2362
Jesus Olmos Gonzalez discovered a buffer overflow in the Tektronix Hex
Format (TekHex) backend of the BFD library, such as used by the
‘strings’ utility. By tricking an user or automated system into
processing a specially crafted file with ‘strings’ or a vulnerable
third-party application using the BFD library, this could be exploited
to crash the application, or possibly even execute arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user.
