CVE-2020-35496

MEDIUM 5.5EPSS 1.14%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.14%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

There's a flaw in bfd_pef_scan_start_address() of bfd/pef.c in binutils which could allow an attacker who is able to submit a crafted file to be processed by objdump to cause a NULL pointer dereference. The greatest threat of this flaw is to application availability. This flaw affects binutils versions prior to 2.34.
