Summary

The demangle_template function in cplus-dem.c in GNU libiberty, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.31.1, has a memory leak via a crafted string, leading to a denial of service (memory consumption), as demonstrated by cxxfilt, a related issue to CVE-2018-12698.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • HTTP DoS
    An attacker performs flooding at the HTTP level to bring down only a particular web application rather than anything listening on a TCP/IP connection. This denial of service attack requires substantially fewer packets to be sent which makes DoS harder to detect. This is an equivalent of SYN flood in HTTP. The idea is to keep the HTTP session alive indefinitely and then repeat that hundreds of times. This attack targets resource depletion weaknesses in web server software. The web server will wait to attacker's responses on the initiated HTTP sessions while the connection threads are being exhausted.

        libiberty, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.31.1,
        contains an integer overflow vulnerability (for 'Create
        an array for saving the template argument values') that
        can trigger a heap-based buffer overflow, as
        demonstrated by nm.(CVE-2018-20673)
    
      - The demangle_template function in cplus-dem.c in GNU

        memory leak via a crafted string, leading to a denial

        cxxfilt, a related issue to
        CVE-2018-12698.(CVE-2018-20657)
    
      - The get_count function in cplus-dem.c in GNU libiberty,
        as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.31, allows remote
        attackers to cause a denial of service (malloc called
        with the result of an integer-overflowing calculation)
        or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted
        string, as demonstrated by c++filt.(CVE-2018-18483)
    
      - An issue was discovered in GNU libiberty, as
        distributed in GNU Binutils 2.32.
        simple_object_elf_match in simple-object-elf.c does not

      - An issue was discovered in the Binary File Descriptor

    descriptionAccording to the versions of the binutils package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities : - GNU Binutils 2017-04-03 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash), related to the process_mips_specific function in readelf.c, via a crafted ELF file that triggers a large memory-allocation attempt.(CVE-2017-9040) - The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, has an aout_link_add_symbols function in bfd/aoutx.h that is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer over-read (off-by-one) because of an incomplete check for invalid string offsets while loading symbols, leading to a GNU linker (ld) program crash.(CVE-2017-7300) - The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, has an aout_link_add_symbols function in bfd/aoutx.h that has an off-by-one vulnerability because it does not carefully check the string offset. The vulnerability could lead to a GNU linker (ld) program crash.(CVE-2017-7301) - The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, has a swap_std_reloc_out function in bfd/aoutx.h that is vulnerable to an invalid read (of size 4) because of missing checks for relocs that could not be recognised. This vulnerability causes Binutils utilities like strip to crash.(CVE-2017-7302) - The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to an invalid read (of size 4) because of missing a check (in the find_link function) for null headers before attempting to match them. This vulnerability causes Binutils utilities like strip to crash.(CVE-2017-7303) - The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to an invalid read (of size 8) because of missing a check (in the copy_special_section_fields function) for an invalid sh_link field before attempting to follow it. This vulnerability causes Binutils utilities like strip to crash.(CVE-2017-7304) - The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to a global buffer over-read error because of an assumption made by code that runs for objcopy and strip, that SHT_REL/SHR_RELA sections are always named starting with a .rel/.rela prefix. This vulnerability causes programs that conduct an analysis of binary programs using the libbfd library, such as objcopy and strip, to crash.(CVE-2017-8393) - The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to an invalid write of size 8 because of missing a malloc() return-value check to see if memory had actually been allocated in the _bfd_generic_get_section_contents function. This vulnerability causes programs that conduct an analysis of binary programs using the libbfd library, such as objcopy, to crash.(CVE-2017-8395) - The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to an invalid read of size 1 because the existing reloc offset range tests didn

      - The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd),
        as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to a
        global buffer over-read error because of an assumption
        made by code that runs for objcopy and strip, that
        SHT_REL/SHR_RELA sections are always named starting
        with a .rel/.rela prefix. This vulnerability causes

        character.(CVE-2019-12972)
    
      - An issue was discovered in the Binary File Descriptor
        (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU
