kernel: load_elf_ binary() does not take account of the need to allocate sufficient space for the entire binary

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel loaded ELF executables. Provided that an application was built as Position Independent Executable PIE, the loader could allow part of that application's data segment to map over the memory area reserved for its stack, potentially resulting in memory...

CVE-2017-14745

The getsyntheticsymtab functions in the Binary File Descriptor BFD library aka libbfd, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29, interpret a -1 value as a sorting count instead of an error flag, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service integer overflow and application crash or possib...

CVE-2017-14745

The CVE-2017-14745 vulnerability affects GNU Binutils’ Binary File Descriptor library (libbfd) in Binutils 2.29. The issue arises because the _get_synthetic_symtab functions treat -1 as a sorting count rather than an error flag, enabling crafted ELF files to trigger denial of service via an integ...

CVE-2017-14729

CVE-2017-14729 affects the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (libbfd) in GNU Binutils 2.29. The vulnerability is triggered by non-unique PLT entries for a symbol in elf32-i386.c and elf64-x86-64.c, allowing remote attackers to cause a heap-based buffer overflow and application crash via a craf...
