CVE-2018-18606

CVE-2018-18606 affects GNU Binutils (libbfd). The issue is a NULL pointer dereference in _bfd_add_merge_section during merging of sections with large alignments, enabling DoS via crafted ELF. Multiple vendors document this under Binutils remediation; confirmed fixes involve upgrading Binutils to ...

CVE-2018-18605

CVE-2018-18605 affects GNU Binutils libbfd (BFD) where a heap-based buffer over-read occurs in sec_merge_hash_lookup during section merges when entsize does not divide the size. This can allow remote DoS via specially crafted ELF (as demonstrated by ld). Affected products reference Binutils 2.31;...
