The remote SUSE Linux SLED12 / SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2021:3593-1 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU     Binutils 2.32. There is a heap-based buffer over-read in _bfd_doprnt in bfd.c because elf_object_p in     elfcode.h mishandles an e_shstrndx section of type SHT_GROUP by omitting a trailing '\0' character.
    (CVE-2019-12972)

  - An issue was discovered in GNU libiberty, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.32. simple_object_elf_match in     simple-object-elf.c does not check for a zero shstrndx value, leading to an integer overflow and resultant     heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2019-14250)

  - apply_relocations in readelf.c in GNU Binutils 2.32 contains an integer overflow that allows attackers to     trigger a write access violation (in byte_put_little_endian function in elfcomm.c) via an ELF file, as     demonstrated by readelf. (CVE-2019-14444)

  - 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)

  - An issue was discovered in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU     Binutils 2.32. It is an out-of-bounds read leading to a SEGV in bfd_getl32 in libbfd.c, when called from     pex64_get_runtime_function in pei-x86_64.c. (CVE-2019-9074)

  - An issue was discovered in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU     Binutils 2.32. It is a heap-based buffer overflow in _bfd_archive_64_bit_slurp_armap in archive64.c.
    (CVE-2019-9075)

  - An issue was discovered in GNU Binutils 2.32. It is a heap-based buffer overflow in process_mips_specific     in readelf.c via a malformed MIPS option section. (CVE-2019-9077)

  - A double free vulnerability exists in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) (aka libbrd) in GNU Binutils 2.35     in the process_symbol_table, as demonstrated in readelf, via a crafted file. (CVE-2020-16590)

  - A Denial of Service vulnerability exists in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) in GNU Binutils 2.35 due to     an invalid read in process_symbol_table, as demonstrated in readeif. (CVE-2020-16591)

  - A use after free issue exists in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) in GNU Binutils     2.34 in bfd_hash_lookup, as demonstrated in nm-new, that can cause a denial of service via a crafted file.
    (CVE-2020-16592)

  - A Null Pointer Dereference vulnerability exists in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd),     as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.35, in scan_unit_for_symbols, as demonstrated in addr2line, that can     cause a denial of service via a crafted file. (CVE-2020-16593)

  - A Null Pointer Dereference vulnerability exists in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd),     as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.35, in _bfd_elf_get_symbol_version_string, as demonstrated in nm-new,     that can cause a denial of service via a crafted file. (CVE-2020-16599)

  - An issue was discovered in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU     Binutils 2.35.1. A heap-based buffer over-read can occur in bfd_getl_signed_32 in libbfd.c because     sh_entsize is not validated in _bfd_elf_slurp_secondary_reloc_section in elf.c. (CVE-2020-35448)

  - 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 bfd_pef_scan_start_address() of bfd/pef.c in binutils which could allow an attacker who     is able to submit a crafted file to be processed by objdump to cause a NULL pointer dereference. The     greatest threat of this flaw is to application availability. This flaw affects binutils versions prior to     2.34. (CVE-2020-35496)

  - There's a flaw in bfd_pef_parse_function_stubs of bfd/pef.c in binutils in versions prior to 2.34 which     could allow an attacker who is able to submit a crafted file to be processed by objdump to cause a NULL     pointer dereference. The greatest threat of this flaw is to application availability. (CVE-2020-35507)

  - There is an open race window when writing output in the following utilities in GNU binutils version 2.35     and earlier:ar, objcopy, strip, ranlib. When these utilities are run as a privileged user (presumably as     part of a script updating binaries across different users), an unprivileged user can trick these utilities     into getting ownership of arbitrary files through a symlink. (CVE-2021-20197)

  - A flaw was found in GNU Binutils 2.35.1, where there is a heap-based buffer overflow in
    _bfd_elf_slurp_secondary_reloc_section in elf.c due to the number of symbols not calculated correctly. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-20284)

  - There's a flaw in the BFD library of binutils in versions before 2.36. An attacker who supplies a crafted     file to an application linked with BFD, and using the DWARF functionality, could cause an impact to system     availability by way of excessive memory consumption. (CVE-2021-3487)

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.

  - dwarf.c in GNU Binutils 2.28 is vulnerable to an     invalid read of size 1 during dumping of debug     information from a corrupt binary. This vulnerability     causes programs that conduct an analysis of binary     programs, such as objdump and readelf, to     crash.(CVE-2017-8398)

  - The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd),     as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to     an invalid read of size 1 and an invalid write of size     1 during processing of a corrupt binary containing     reloc(s) with negative addresses. This vulnerability     causes programs that conduct an analysis of binary     programs using the libbfd library, such as objdump, to     crash.(CVE-2017-8397)

  - The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd),     as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to     an invalid read of size 1 because the existing reloc     offset range tests didn't catch small negative offsets     less than the size of the reloc field. This     vulnerability causes programs that conduct an analysis     of binary programs using the libbfd library, such as     objdump, to crash.(CVE-2017-8396)

  - The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd),     as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to     an invalid read (of size 4) because of missing a check     (in the find_link function) for null headers before     attempting to match them. This vulnerability causes     Binutils utilities like strip to crash.(CVE-2017-7303)

  - The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd),     as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, has a     swap_std_reloc_out function in bfd/aoutx.h that is     vulnerable to an invalid read (of size 4) because of     missing checks for relocs that could not be recognised.
    This vulnerability causes Binutils utilities like strip     to crash.(CVE-2017-7302)

  - A NULL pointer dereference (aka SEGV on unknown address     0x000000000000) was discovered in     work_stuff_copy_to_from in cplus-dem.c in GNU     libiberty, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.30. This     can occur during execution of objdump.(CVE-2018-12697)
