Description
This security bulletin contains information about 17 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-19726)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in libbfd.c when handling the auxiliary symbol data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-32256)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input in demangle_type in rust-demangle.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger an out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service attack.
3) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-35205)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion within the display_debug_names() function. A remote attacker can trick the victim to pass specially crafted input to the application and crash it.
4) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-35206)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error. A local user can trigger denial of service conditions via function read_and_display_attr_value in file dwarf.c.
5) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4285)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error when parsing an ELF file containing corrupt symbol version information. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-44840)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the find_section_in_set() function in readelf.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
7) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45703)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the display_debug_section() function in readelf.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
8) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-47673)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the parse_module() function in addr2line. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
9) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-47695)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the bfd_mach_o_get_synthetic_symtab() function in match-o.c in objdump. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-47696)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the compare_symbols() function in objdump. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
11) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48063)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources within the load_separate_debug_files() function in dwarf2.c. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
12) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48064)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources within the bfd_dwarf2_find_nearest_line_with_alt() function in dwarf2.c. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion via a crafted ELF file and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
13) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48065)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak within the find_abstract_instance() function in dwarf2.c. A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.
14) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1579)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the bfd_getl64() function in binutils-gdb/bfd/libbfd.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted file to the application, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
15) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1972)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the _bfd_elf_slurp_version_tables() function in bfd/elf.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted file to the application, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
16) Use of uninitialized resource (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-25585)
The vulnerability allows a local user to bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to usage of uninitialized field in the struct module *module. A local user can trick the victim into opening specially crafted data, leading to an application crash and local denial of service.
17) Use of uninitialized resource (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-25588)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to field `the_bfd` of `asymbol`struct is uninitialized in the `bfd_mach_o_get_synthetic_symtab` function. A local user can trick the victim into opening specially crafted data, leading to an application crash and local denial of service.
