The ieee_archive_p function in bfd/ieee.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted binary file, as demonstrated by mishandling of this file during "objdump -D" execution. NOTE: this may be related to a compiler bug.

GNU binutils vulnerabilities
vendor_ubuntu·2023-08-09
CVE-2017-9748 GNU binutils vulnerabilities
Title: GNU binutils vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in GNU binutils.
USN-4336-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in GNU. This update provides
the corresponding update for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
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.
