According to the versions of the binutils packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - 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)

  - 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.
    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)

  - GNU gdb All versions is affected by: Buffer Overflow -     Out of bound memory access. The impact is: Deny of     Service, Memory Disclosure, and Possible Code     Execution. The component is: The main gdb module. The     attack vector is: Open an ELF for debugging. The fixed     version is: Not fixed yet.(CVE-2019-1010180)

  - 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 attempted excessive memory     allocation in _bfd_elf_slurp_version_tables in     elf.c.(CVE-2019-9073)

  - 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)

  - remember_Ktype in cplus-dem.c in GNU libiberty, as     distributed in GNU Binutils 2.30, allows attackers to     trigger excessive memory consumption (aka OOM). This     can occur during execution of cxxfilt.(CVE-2018-12934)

  - 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)

  - 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)

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has binutils packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - The bfd_cache_close function in bfd/cache.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as     distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29 and earlier, allows remote attackers to cause a heap use after free and     possibly achieve code execution via a crafted nested archive file. This issue occurs because incorrect     functions are called during an attempt to release memory. The issue can be addressed by better input     validation in the bfd_generic_archive_p function in bfd/archive.c. (CVE-2017-12448)

  - remember_Ktype in cplus-dem.c in GNU libiberty, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.30, allows attackers to     trigger excessive memory consumption (aka OOM). This can occur during execution of cxxfilt.
    (CVE-2018-12934)

  - An issue was discovered in cplus-dem.c in GNU libiberty, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.31. There is a     NULL pointer dereference in work_stuff_copy_to_from when called from iterate_demangle_function.
    (CVE-2018-17794)

  - 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)

  - A heap-based buffer over-read issue was discovered in the function sec_merge_hash_lookup in merge.c in the     Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.31, because
    _bfd_add_merge_section mishandles section merges when size is not a multiple of entsize. A specially     crafted ELF allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, as demonstrated by ld. (CVE-2018-18605)

  - An issue was discovered in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU     Binutils through 2.31. There is a heap-based buffer overflow in bfd_elf32_swap_phdr_in in elfcode.h     because the number of program headers is not restricted. (CVE-2018-19931)

  - 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)

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

It was discovered that libiberty incorrectly handled parsing certain binaries. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted binary, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause libiberty to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

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

It was discovered that GNU binutils contained a large number of security issues. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could cause GNU binutils to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
