Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2020-03-02 15:11:02 UTC
Description:
"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-2019-17451 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/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 integer overflow
  leading to a SEGV in _bfd_dwarf2_find_nearest_line in dwarf2.c, as
  demonstrated by nm.

CVE-2019-17450 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-17450):
  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.
