CVE-2016-4491
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.5)—
The d_print_comp function in cp-demangle.c in libiberty allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault and crash) via a crafted binary, which triggers infinite recursion and a buffer overflow, related to a node having "itself as ancestor more than once."
CVSS
- Versión: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
