A security flaw has been discovered in GNU Binutils 2.45. Impacted is the function tg_tag_type of the file prdbg.c. Performing manipulation results in unchecked return value. The attack needs to be approached locally. The exploit has been released to the public and may be exploited.
The product does not check the return value from a method or function, which can prevent it from detecting unexpected states and conditions.
