Null pointer dereference

An issue was discovered in the mergestrings function in merge.c in the Binary File Descriptor BFD library aka libbfd, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.31. There is a NULL pointer dereference in bfdaddmergesection when attempting to merge sections with large alignments. A specially crafted ELF...

Heap overflow

A heap-based buffer over-read issue was discovered in the function secmergehashlookup in merge.c in the Binary File Descriptor BFD library aka libbfd, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.31, because bfdaddmergesection mishandles section merges when size is not a multiple of entsize. A specially...

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;...

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-2018-18607

An issue was discovered in elflinkinputbfd in elflink.c in the Binary File Descriptor BFD library aka libbfd, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.31. There is a NULL pointer dereference in elflinkinputbfd when used for finding STTTLS symbols without any TLS section. A specially crafted ELF allows...

CVE-2018-18607

CVE-2018-18607 is a NULL pointer dereference in elf_link_input_bfd (elfin GNU Binutils libbfd) when locating STT_TLS symbols without a TLS section. A crafted ELF can cause denial of service (DoS); impact is consistent with DoS in affected Binutils 2.31, including remote triggering via ld in demon...
