The demangle_template_value_parm and do_hpacc_template_literal functions in cplus-dem.c in libiberty allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and crash) via a crafted binary.

According to the versions of the gdb packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Buffer overflow in the do_type function in cplus-dem.c     in libiberty allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (segmentation fault and crash) via a crafted     binary.(CVE-2016-4492)

  - The demangle_template_value_parm and     do_hpacc_template_literal functions in cplus-dem.c in     libiberty allow remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (out-of-bounds read and crash) via a crafted     binary.(CVE-2016-4493)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in libiberty allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation     fault and crash) via a crafted binary, related to     'ktypevec.'(CVE-2016-4488)

CVE-2016-4488

Invalid write due to a use-after-free to array ktypevec.

CVE-2016-4489

Invalid write due to integer overflow.

CVE-2016-4490

Write access violation.

CVE-2016-4492

Write access violations.

CVE-2016-4493

Read access violations.

CVE-2016-6131
