CVE-2023-0687

The GNU C Library project provides the core libraries for the GNU system and GNU/Linux systems, as well as many other systems that use Linux as the kernel. These libraries provide critical APIs including ISO C11, POSIX.1-2008, BSD, OS-specific APIs and more. These APIs include such foundational facilities as open, read, write, malloc, printf, getaddrinfo, dlopen, pthread_create, crypt, login, exit and more.

Security Fix(es):

** DISPUTED ** A vulnerability was found in GNU C Library 2.38. It has been declared as critical. This vulnerability affects the function __monstartup of the file gmon.c of the component Call Graph Monitor. The manipulation leads to buffer overflow. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. VDB-220246 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability. NOTE: The real existence of this vulnerability is still doubted at the moment. The inputs that induce this vulnerability are basically addresses of the running application that is built with gmon enabled. It's basically trusted input or input that needs an actual security flaw to be compromised or controlled.(CVE-2023-0687)

These are all security issues fixed in the binutils-2.40-3.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

This update for glibc fixes the following issues:

This update for binutils fixes the following issues:

Update to version 2.41 [jsc#PED-5778]:

• The MIPS port now supports the Sony Interactive Entertainment Allegrex processor, used with the PlayStation Portable, which implements the MIPS II ISA along with a single-precision FPU and a few implementation-specific integer instructions.

• Objdump's --private option can now be used on PE format files to display the fields in the file header and section headers.

• New versioned release of libsframe: libsframe.so.1. This release introduces versioned symbols with version node name LIBSFRAME_1.0. This release also updates the ABI in an incompatible way: this includes removal of sframe_get_funcdesc_with_addr API, change in the behavior of sframe_fre_get_ra_offset and sframe_fre_get_fp_offset APIs.

• SFrame Version 2 is now the default (and only) format version supported by gas, ld, readelf and objdump.

• Add command-line option, --strip-section-headers, to objcopy and strip to remove ELF section header from ELF file.

• The RISC-V port now supports the following new standard extensions:

  • Zicond (conditional zero instructions)
  • Zfa (additional floating-point instructions)
  • Zvbb, Zvbc, Zvkg, Zvkned, Zvknh[ab], Zvksed, Zvksh, Zvkn, Zvknc, Zvkng, Zvks, Zvksc, Zvkg, Zvkt (vector crypto instructions)

• The RISC-V port now supports the following vendor-defined extensions:

  • XVentanaCondOps

• Add support for Intel FRED, LKGS and AMX-COMPLEX instructions.

• A new .insn directive is recognized by x86 gas.

• Add SME2 support to the AArch64 port.

• The linker now accepts a command line option of --remap-inputs <PATTERN>=<FILE> to relace any input file that matches <PATTERN> with <FILE>. In addition the option --remap-inputs-file=<FILE> can be used to specify a file containing any number of these remapping directives.

• The linker command line option --print-map-locals can be used to include local symbols in a linker map. (ELF targets only).

• For most ELF based targets, if the --enable-linker-version option is used then the version of the linker will be inserted as a string into the .comment section.

• The linker script syntax has a new command for output sections: ASCIZ 'string' This will insert a zero-terminated string at the current location.

• Add command-line option, -z nosectionheader, to omit ELF section header.

• Contains fixes for these non-CVEs (not security bugs per upstreams SECURITY.md):
