[Bug 1250129] binutils: buffer overflow in ihex.c

[bugzilla at redhat.com]

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1250129



--- Comment #6 from Stefan Cornelius <scorneli at redhat.com> ---
For RHEL5/6/7/Fedora, the stack-based buffer overflow is detected and mitigated
by fortify source. Thus, the worst outcome should be a mere crash/application
abort. It should not be possible to exploit this flaw to gain code execution.

Statement:

This issue affects the versions of binutils as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5, 6, and 7. Red Hat Product Security has rated this issue as having Low
security impact. For additional information, refer to the Issue Severity
Classification: https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/.
