The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:4277-1 advisory.

  - GNU binutils gold gold v1.11-v1.16 (GNU binutils v2.21-v2.31.1) is affected by: Improper Input Validation,     Signed/Unsigned Comparison, Out-of-bounds Read. The impact is: Denial of service. The component is:
    gold/fileread.cc:497, elfcpp/elfcpp_file.h:644. The attack vector is: An ELF file with an invalid e_shoff     header field must be opened. (CVE-2019-1010204)

  - A flaw was discovered in GNU libiberty within demangle_path() in rust-demangle.c, as distributed in GNU     Binutils version 2.36. A crafted symbol can cause stack memory to be exhausted leading to a crash.
    (CVE-2021-3530)

  - Heap/stack buffer overflow in the dlang_lname function in d-demangle.c in libiberty allows attackers to     potentially cause a denial of service (segmentation fault and crash) via a crafted mangled symbol.
    (CVE-2021-3826)

  - stab_xcoff_builtin_type in stabs.c in GNU Binutils through 2.37 allows attackers to cause a denial of     service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact, as demonstrated by an out-     of-bounds write. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2018-12699. (CVE-2021-45078)

  - GCC v12.0 was discovered to contain an uncontrolled recursion via the component libiberty/rust-demangle.c.
    This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by consuming excessive CPU and     memory resources. (CVE-2021-46195)

  - libiberty/rust-demangle.c in GNU GCC 11.2 allows stack consumption in demangle_const, as demonstrated by     nm-new. (CVE-2022-27943)

  - In GNU Binutils before 2.40, there is a heap-buffer-overflow in the error function bfd_getl32 when called     from the strip_main function in strip-new via a crafted file. (CVE-2022-38533)

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

The remote Oracle Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2022-8415 advisory.

    [12.0.1-11.2]
    - Bump release and rebuild       resolves: rhbz#2096010

    [12.0.1-11.1]
    - Rebase to Fedora Rawhide       resolves: rhbz#2080170

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

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

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - GCC v12.0 was discovered to contain an uncontrolled recursion via the component libiberty/rust-demangle.c.
    This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by consuming excessive CPU and     memory resources. (CVE-2021-46195)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

An update of the gdb package has been released.
