Description

A vulnerability was found in GNU Binutils 2.43. It has been declared as problematic. This vulnerability affects the function bfd_malloc of the file libbfd.c of the component ld.

The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue.
