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.

allows context-dependent\r\n attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and\r\n possibly execute arbitrary code via a file with a crafted Tektronix\r\n Hex Format (TekHex) record in which the length character is not a\r\n valid hexadecimal character. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures\r\n (CVE) project assigned the id CVE-2006-2362 [2] to the problem.\r\n________________________________________________________________________\r\n\r\nReferences:\r\n [0] http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2584\r\n [1] http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/\r\n [2] http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-2362\r\n________________________________________________________________________\r\n\r\nFor security reasons, this advisory was digitally signed with the\r\nOpenPGP public key "OpenPKG <openpkg@openpkg.org>" (ID 63C4CB9F) of the\r\nOpenPKG project which you can retrieve from http://pgp.openpkg.org and\r\nhkp://pgp.openpkg.org.
