The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.30, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (excessive memory allocation and application crash) via a crafted ELF file, as demonstrated by _bfd_elf_parse_attributes in elf-attrs.c and bfd_malloc in libbfd.c. This can occur during execution of nm.

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.

## Abstract
Directed greybox fuzzing (DGF) can quickly discover or reproduce bugs in programs by seeking to reach a program location or explore some locations in order. However, due to their static stage division and coarse-grained energy scheduling, prior DGF tools perform poorly when facing multiple target locat
