This vulnerability causes programs that conduct an analysis of binary programs using the libbfd library, such as objdump, to crash.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.0","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":7.5},"cwes":["CWE-20"],"references":["https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/201709-02","https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21432","https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/201709-02","https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21432"],"products":["gnu:binutils"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T20:42:28.077359912+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2017-8396","score":0.01839,"percentile":0.78973,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
