elflink.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, has a member access within null pointer undefined behavior issue, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via an int main() {return 0;} program.
Weakness
The product dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid but is NULL.
