high Nessus Plugin ID 132443
New! Plugin Severity Now Using CVSS v3
The calculated severity for Plugins has been updated to use CVSS v3 by default. Plugins that do not have a CVSS v3 score will fall back to CVSS v2 for calculating severity. Severity display preferences can be toggled in the settings dropdown.
Synopsis
The remote machine is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has binutils packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:- An issue was discovered in arm_pt in cplus-dem.c in GNU libiberty, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.30. Stack Exhaustion occurs in the C++ demangling functions provided by libiberty, and there are recursive stack frames: demangle_arm_hp_template, demangle_class_name, demangle_fund_type, do_type, do_arg, demangle_args, and demangle_nested_args. This can occur during execution of nm-new. (CVE-2018-12641)
- 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)
- binutils version 2.32 and earlier contains a Integer Overflow vulnerability in objdump, bfd_get_dynamic_reloc
_upper_bound,bfd_canonicalize_dynamic_reloc that can result in Integer overflow trigger heap overflow.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.. This attack appear to be exploitable via Local.
This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in after commit 3a551c7a1b80fca579461774860574eabfd7f18f.
(CVE-2018-1000876)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL binutils packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.See Also
