Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45703)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the display_debug_section() function in readelf.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a 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) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-47673)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the parse_module() function in addr2line. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-47695)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the bfd_mach_o_get_synthetic_symtab() function in match-o.c in objdump. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-47696)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the compare_symbols() function in objdump. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) 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.
6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48064)
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 bfd_dwarf2_find_nearest_line_with_alt() function in dwarf2.c. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion via a crafted ELF file and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48065)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak within the find_abstract_instance() function in dwarf2.c. A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.
