CVE-2017-7210
objdump in GNU Binutils 2.28 is vulnerable to multiple heap-based buffer over-reads (of size 1 and size 8) while handling corrupt STABS enum type strings in a crafted object file, leading to program crash.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.22%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
