CVE-2017-17122

The dump_relocs_in_section function in objdump.c in GNU Binutils 2.29.1 does not check for reloc count integer overflows, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (excessive memory allocation, or heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PE file.

• SECURITY UPDATE: integer overflow
  • debian/patches/CVE-2017-17122-pre1.patch: change bfd_get_size/bfd_get_file_size to ufile_ptr.
  • debian/patches/CVE-2017-17122.patch: stop objdump from attempting to allocate a huge chunk of memory when parsing relocs in a corrupt file.
  • CVE-2017-17122
• SECURITY UPDATE: out-of-bounds read
  • debian/patches/CVE-2019-1010204.patch: check start parameter before computing number of bytes to read.

It was discovered that GNU binutils incorrectly handled checks for memory allocation when parsing relocs in a corrupt file. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2017-17122)

It was discovered that GNU binutils incorrectly handled certain corrupt DWARF debug sections. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause GNU binutils to consume memory, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2021-3487)

It was discovered that GNU binutils incorrectly performed bounds checking operations when parsing stabs debugging information. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-45078)

It was discovered that GNU binutils was not properly performing checks when dealing with memory allocation operations, which could lead to excessive memory consumption. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2017-17122, CVE-2017-8421)

It was discovered that GNU binutils was not properly performing bounds checks when processing debug sections with objdump, which could lead to an overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2018-20671, CVE-2018-6543)

It was discovered that GNU binutils contained a reachable assertion, which could lead to an intentional assertion failure when processing certain crafted DWARF files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-35205)

It was discovered that GNU binutils incorrectly handled memory management operations in several of its functions, which could lead to excessive memory consumption due to memory leaks. An attacker could possibly use these issues to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-47007, CVE-2022-47008, CVE-2022-47010, CVE-2022-47011)

It was discovered that GNU binutils was not properly performing bounds checks when dealing with memory allocation operations, which could lead to excessive memory consumption. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-48063)
