The pe_ILF_object_p function in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer over-read of size 4049 because it uses the strlen function instead of strnlen, leading to program crashes in several utilities such as addr2line, size, and strings. It could lead to information disclosure as well.

GNU binutils vulnerabilities
vendor_ubuntu·2021-07-21
CVE-2018-19932 GNU binutils vulnerabilities
Title: GNU binutils vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in GNU binutils.
USN-4336-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in GNU binutils. This update provides
the corresponding update for Ubuntu 16.04 ESM.
Original advisory details:
It was discovered that GNU binutils contained a large number of security
issues. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a
specially-crafted file, a remote attacker could cause GNU binutils to
crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary
code.
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
