CVE-2017-9750

CVE-2017-9750 is a buffer overflow vulnerability in GNU Binutils 2.28, specifically within the opcodes/rx-decode.opc component due to a lack of bounds checks for scale arrays. This flaw allows remote attackers to trigger a denial of service (application crash) or potentially other impacts via a crafted binary file, as demonstrated by "objdump -D" execution. With a CVSS score of 7.8 (HIGH), the vulnerability can be exploited locally with low attack complexity, leading to high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed on CISA's KEV or Hot List, and with no active exploitation reported, a public exploit (EDB-42198) exists, though community discussion and media coverage are minimal.
