Description:
8
 
 The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in
9
 
 GNU Binutils 2.28, has an aout_link_add_symbols function in bfd/aoutx.h
10
 
 that is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer over-read (off-by-one) because of
11
 
 an incomplete check for invalid string offsets while loading symbols,
12
 
 leading to a GNU linker (ld) program crash.
