The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has binutils packages installed that are affected by multiple 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 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)

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

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 :

  - Ruby through 2.4.7, 2.5.x through 2.5.6, and 2.6.x     through 2.6.4 allows HTTP Response Splitting. If a     program using WEBrick inserts untrusted input into the     response header, an attacker can exploit it to insert a     newline character to split a header, and inject     malicious content to deceive clients. NOTE: this issue     exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-17742,     which addressed the CRLF vector, but did not address an     isolated CR or an isolated LF.(CVE-2019-9076)

  - An issue was discovered in the Binary File Descriptor     (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU     Binutils 2.32. It is an attempted excessive memory     allocation in elf_read_notes in elf.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 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-2019-14250)

  - An issue was discovered in GNU libiberty, as     distributed in GNU Binutils 2.32. It is a stack     consumption issue in d_count_templates_scopes in     cp-demangle.c after many recursive     calls.(CVE-2019-9071)

  - An issue was discovered in GNU libiberty, as     distributed in GNU Binutils 2.32. It is a heap-based     buffer over-read in d_expression_1 in cp-demangle.c     after many recursive calls.(CVE-2019-9070)

  - The demangle_template function in cplus-dem.c in GNU     libiberty, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.31.1, has a     memory leak via a crafted string, leading to a denial     of service (memory consumption), as demonstrated by     cxxfilt, a related issue to     CVE-2018-12698.(CVE-2018-20657)

  - The get_count function in cplus-dem.c in GNU libiberty,     as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.31, allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (malloc called     with the result of an integer-overflowing calculation)     or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     string, as demonstrated by c++filt.(CVE-2018-18483)

  - 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)

  - 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)

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.
