GNU Binutils is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability.
Attackers can exploit this issue to cause a denial-of-service condition, denying service to legitimate users. Given the nature of this issue, attackers may also be able to execute arbitrary code, but this has not been confirmed.
GNU Binutils 2.31.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
