Description
This security bulletin contains information about 10 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-17122)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in The dump_relocs_in_section function in objdump.c in GNU Binutils 2.29.1 does not check for reloc count integer overflows, which. A remote attacker can use a crafted PE file. to trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-8421)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The function coff_set_alignment_hook in coffcode.h in Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, has a memory leak vulnerability which can cause memory exhaustion in objdump via a crafted PE file. Additional validation in dump_relocs_in_section in objdump.c can resolve this.
3) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-20671)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in load_specific_debug_section in objdump.c. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted section size, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-6543)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.The weakness exists in the load_specific_debug_section function in GNU Binutilsdue to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can submit a specially crafted Executable and Linkable Format (ELF) file, trigger integer overflow and cause the service to crash.
5) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-35205)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion within the display_debug_names() function. A remote attacker can trick the victim to pass specially crafted input to the application and crash it.
6) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-47007)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak within the stab_demangle_v3_arg() function in stabs.c. A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.
7) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-47008)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak within the make_tempdir() and make_tempname() function in bucomm.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to pass specially crafted data to the application and and perform denial of service attack.
8) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-47010)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak within the pr_function_type(0 function in prdbg.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to pass specially crafted input to the application and perform denial of service attack.
9) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-47011)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak within the parse_stab_struct_fields() function in stabs.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to pass specially crafted input to the application and perform denial of service attack.
10) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48063)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources within the load_separate_debug_files() function in dwarf2.c. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
