Description
There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:- An issue was discovered in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU

because the number of program headers is not restricted. (CVE-2018-19931)
- An issue was discovered in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU
Binutils through 2.31. There is an integer overflow and infinite loop caused by the IS_CONTAINED_BY_LMA
macro in elf.c. (CVE-2018-19932)
- The _bfd_generic_read_minisymbols function in syms.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka
libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.31, has a memory leak via a crafted ELF file, leading to a
denial of service (memory consumption), as demonstrated by nm. (CVE-2018-20002)
- A heap-based buffer over-read exists in the function d_expression_1 in cp-demangle.c in GNU libiberty, as
distributed in GNU Binutils 2.31.1. A crafted input can cause segmentation faults, leading to denial-of-
