Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.69%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
An issue was discovered in cp-demangle.c in GNU libiberty, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.31. There is a stack consumption vulnerability resulting from infinite recursion in the functions next_is_type_qual() and cplus_demangle_type() in cp-demangle.c.
