The remote host is missing an update for the 'binutils'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Vulnerability Insight:
This update for binutils to 2.31 fixes the following issues:
These security issues were fixed:
- CVE-2017-15996: readelf allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (excessive memory allocation) or possibly have unspecified other
impact via a crafted ELF file that triggered a buffer overflow on fuzzed
archive header (bsc#1065643).
- CVE-2017-15939: Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd)
mishandled NULL files in a .debug_line file table, which allowed remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and
application crash) via a crafted ELF file, related to concat_filename
(bsc#1065689).
- CVE-2017-15938: the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd)
miscalculated DW_FORM_ref_addr die refs in the case of a relocatable
object file, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(find_abstract_instance_name invalid memory read, segmentation fault,
and application crash) (bsc#1065693).
- CVE-2017-16826: The coff_slurp_line_table function the Binary File
Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) allowed remote attackers to cause
a denial of service (invalid memory access and application crash) or
possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PE file
(bsc#1068640).
- CVE-2017-16832: The pe_bfd_read_buildid function in the Binary File
Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) did not validate size and offset
values in the data dictionary, which allowed remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (segmentation violation and application crash) or
possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PE file
(bsc#1068643).
- CVE-2017-16831: Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) did
not validate the symbol count, which allowed remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (integer overflow and application crash, or excessive
memory allocation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
crafted PE file (bsc#1068887).
- CVE-2017-16830: The print_gnu_property_note function did not have
integer-overflow protection on 32-bit platforms, which allowed remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation violation and
application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
crafted ELF file (bsc#1068888).
- CVE-2017-16829: The _bfd_elf_parse_gnu_properties function in the Binary
File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) did not prevent negative
pointers, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(out-of-bounds read and application crash) or possibly have unspecified
other impact via a crafted ELF file (b ...
