USN-4336-1

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

  - find_abstract_instance in dwarf2.c in the Binary File     Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed     in GNU Binutils 2.32, allows remote attackers to cause     a denial of service (infinite recursion and application     crash) via a crafted ELF file.(CVE-2019-17450)

  - An issue was discovered in the Binary File Descriptor     (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU     Binutils 2.32. It is an integer overflow leading to a     SEGV in _bfd_dwarf2_find_nearest_line in dwarf2.c, as     demonstrated by nm.(CVE-2019-17451)

  - A flaw exists in binutils in bfd/pef.c. An attacker who     is able to submit a crafted PEF file to be parsed by     objdump could cause a heap buffer overflow ->     out-of-bounds read that could lead to an impact to     application availability. This flaw affects binutils     versions prior to 2.34.(CVE-2020-35493)

  - There's a flaw in binutils /opcodes/tic4x-dis.c. An     attacker who is able to submit a crafted input file to     be processed by binutils could cause usage of     uninitialized memory. The highest threat is to     application availability with a lower threat to data     confidentiality. This flaw affects binutils versions     prior to 2.34.(CVE-2020-35494)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote CentOS Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the CESA-2020:1797 advisory.

  - binutils: Improper Input Validation, Signed/Unsigned Comparison, Out-of-bounds Read in gold/fileread.cc     and elfcpp/elfcpp_file.h leads to denial of service (CVE-2019-1010204)

  - binutils: integer overflow leading to a SEGV in _bfd_dwarf2_find_nearest_line in dwarf2.c (CVE-2019-17451)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

This update for binutils fixes the following issues :

binutils was updated to version 2.35.1 (jsc#ECO-2373)

Additional branch fixes applied on top of 2.35.1 :

Fixes PR26520, aka [bsc#1179036], a problem in addr2line with certain DWARF variable descriptions.

Also fixes PR26711, PR26656, PR26655, PR26929, PR26808, PR25878, PR26740, PR26778, PR26763, PR26685, PR26699, PR26902, PR26869, PR26711

The above includes fixes for dwo files produced by modern dwp, fixing several problems in the DWARF reader.

Update to binutils 2.35.1 and rebased branch diff :

This is a point release over the previous 2.35 version, containing bug fixes, and as an exception to the usual rule, one new feature. The new feature is the support for a new directive in the assembler: '.nop'.
This directive creates a single no-op instruction in whatever encoding is correct for the target architecture. Unlike the .space or .fill this is a real instruction, and it does affect the generation of DWARF line number tables, should they be enabled.

Update to binutils 2.35 :

The assembler can now produce DWARF-5 format line number tables.

Readelf now has a 'lint' mode to enable extra checks of the files it is processing.

Readelf will now display '[...]' when it has to truncate a symbol name. The old behaviour - of displaying as many characters as possible, up to the 80 column limit - can be restored by the use of the

--silent-truncation option.

The linker can now produce a dependency file listing the inputs that it has processed, much like the -M -MP option supported by the compiler.

fix DT_NEEDED order with -flto [bsc#1163744]

Update to binutils 2.34 :

The disassembler (objdump --disassemble) now has an option to generate ascii art thats show the arcs between that start and end points of control flow instructions.

The binutils tools now have support for debuginfod. Debuginfod is a HTTP service for distributing ELF/DWARF debugging information as well as source code. The tools can now connect to debuginfod servers in order to download debug information about the files that they are processing.

The assembler and linker now support the generation of ELF format files for the Z80 architecture.

Add new subpackages for libctf and libctf-nobfd.

Disable LTO due to bsc#1163333.

Includes fixes for these CVEs: bsc#1153768 aka CVE-2019-17451 aka PR25070 bsc#1153770 aka CVE-2019-17450 aka PR25078

fix various build fails on aarch64 (PR25210, bsc#1157755).

Update to binutils 2.33.1 :

Adds support for the Arm Scalable Vector Extension version 2 (SVE2) instructions, the Arm Transactional Memory Extension (TME) instructions and the Armv8.1-M Mainline and M-profile Vector Extension (MVE) instructions.

Adds support for the Arm Cortex-A76AE, Cortex-A77 and Cortex-M35P processors and the AArch64 Cortex-A34, Cortex-A65, Cortex-A65AE, Cortex-A76AE, and Cortex-A77 processors.

Adds a .float16 directive for both Arm and AArch64 to allow encoding of 16-bit floating point literals.

For MIPS, Add -m[no-]fix-loongson3-llsc option to fix (or not) Loongson3 LLSC Errata. Add a --enable-mips-fix-loongson3-llsc=[yes|no] configure time option to set the default behavior. Set the default if the configure option is not used to 'no'.

The Cortex-A53 Erratum 843419 workaround now supports a choice of which workaround to use. The option --fix-cortex-a53-843419 now takes an optional argument --fix-cortex-a53-843419[=full|adr|adrp] which can be used to force a particular workaround to be used. See --help for AArch64 for more details.

Add support for GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI and GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_PAC in ELF GNU program properties in the AArch64 ELF linker.

Add -z force-bti for AArch64 to enable GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI on output while warning about missing GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI on inputs and use PLTs protected with BTI.

Add -z pac-plt for AArch64 to pick PAC enabled PLTs.

Add --source-comment[=<txt>] option to objdump which if present, provides a prefix to source code lines displayed in a disassembly.

Add --set-section-alignment <section-name>=<power-of-2-align> option to objcopy to allow the changing of section alignments.

Add --verilog-data-width option to objcopy for verilog targets to control width of data elements in verilog hex format.

The separate debug info file options of readelf (--debug-dump=links and

--debug-dump=follow) and objdump (--dwarf=links and

--dwarf=follow-links) will now display and/or follow multiple links if more than one are present in a file. (This usually happens when gcc's

-gsplit-dwarf option is used). In addition objdump's

--dwarf=follow-links now also affects its other display options, so that for example, when combined with

--syms it will cause the symbol tables in any linked debug info files to also be displayed. In addition when combined with

--disassemble the --dwarf= follow-links option will ensure that any symbol tables in the linked files are read and used when disassembling code in the main file.

Add support for dumping types encoded in the Compact Type Format to objdump and readelf.

Includes fixes for these CVEs: bsc#1126826 aka CVE-2019-9077 aka PR1126826 bsc#1126829 aka CVE-2019-9075 aka PR1126829 bsc#1126831 aka CVE-2019-9074 aka PR24235 bsc#1140126 aka CVE-2019-12972 aka PR23405 bsc#1143609 aka CVE-2019-14444 aka PR24829 bsc#1142649 aka CVE-2019-14250 aka PR90924

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202007-39 (Binutils: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Binutils. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:1797 advisory.

  - binutils: Improper Input Validation, Signed/Unsigned Comparison, Out-of-bounds Read in gold/fileread.cc     and elfcpp/elfcpp_file.h leads to denial of service (CVE-2019-1010204)

  - binutils: integer overflow leading to a SEGV in _bfd_dwarf2_find_nearest_line in dwarf2.c (CVE-2019-17451)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

It was discovered that GNU binutils contained a large number of security issues. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could cause GNU binutils to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

According to the versions of the binutils package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The dump_relocs_in_section function in objdump.c in GNU     Binutils 2.29.1 does not check for reloc count integer     overflows, which allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (excessive memory allocation, or     heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PE     file.(CVE-2017-17122)

  - The _bfd_coff_read_string_table function in coffgen.c     in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka     libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29.1, does     not properly validate the size of the external string     table, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (excessive memory consumption, or heap-based     buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted COFF     binary.(CVE-2017-17124)

  - The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd),     as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29.1, allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (memory access     violation) or possibly have unspecified other impact     via a COFF binary in which a relocation refers to a     location after the end of the to-be-relocated     section.(CVE-2017-17121)

  - nm.c and objdump.c in GNU Binutils 2.29.1 mishandle     certain global symbols, which allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service     (_bfd_elf_get_symbol_version_string buffer over-read     and application crash) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via a crafted ELF file.(CVE-2017-17125)

  - The pe_bfd_read_buildid function in peicode.h in the     Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as     distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29.1, does not validate     size and offset values in the data dictionary, which     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (segmentation violation and application crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PE     file.(CVE-2017-16832)

  - dwarf2.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library     (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29,     miscalculates DW_FORM_ref_addr die refs in the case of     a relocatable object file, which allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service     (find_abstract_instance_name invalid memory read,     segmentation fault, and application     crash).(CVE-2017-15938)

  - The _bfd_vms_slurp_etir function in bfd/vms-alpha.c in     the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd),     as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow     and application crash) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via a crafted binary file, as demonstrated     by mishandling of this file during 'objdump -D'     execution.(CVE-2017-9745)
