  These security issues were fixed:

  - CVE-2017-15996: readelf allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of
  service (excessive memory allocation) or possibly have unspecified other
  impact via a crafted ELF file that triggered a buffer overflow on fuzzed
  archive header (bsc#1065643).

  - CVE-2017-15939: Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd)
  mishandled NULL files in a .debug_line file table, which allowed remote
  attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and
  application crash) via a crafted ELF file, related to concat_filename
  (bsc#1065689).

  - CVE-2017-15938: the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd)
  miscalculated DW_FORM_ref_addr die refs in the case of a relocatable
  object file, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service
  (find_abstract_instance_name invalid memory read, segmentation fault,
  and application crash) (bsc#1065693).

  - CVE-2017-16826: The coff_slurp_line_table function the Binary File
  Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) allowed remote attackers to cause
  a denial of service (invalid memory access and application crash) or
  possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PE file
  (bsc#1068640).

  - CVE-2017-16832: The pe_bfd_read_buildid function in the Binary File
  Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) did not validate size and offset
  values in the data dictionary, which allowed remote attackers to cause a
  denial of service (segmentation violation and application crash) or
  possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PE file
  (bsc#1068643).

  - CVE-2017-16831: Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) did
  not validate the symbol count, which allowed remote attackers to cause a
  denial of service (integer overflow and application crash, or excessive
  memory allocation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
  crafted PE file (bsc#1068887).

  - CVE-2017-16830: The print_gnu_property_note function did not have
  integer-overflow protection on 32-bit platforms, which allowed remote
  attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation violation and
  application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
  crafted ELF file (bsc#1068888).

  - CVE-2017-16829: The _bfd_elf_parse_gnu_properties function in the Binary
  File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) did not prevent negative
  pointers, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service
