2017-05-18 CVE-2017-9038 Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in GNU Binutils 2.28
GNU Binutils 2.28 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted ELF file, related to the byte_get_little_endian function in elfcomm.c, the get_unwind_section_word function in readelf.c, and ARM unwind information that contains invalid word offsets.

2017-05-01 CVE-2017-8397 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in GNU Binutils 2.28
The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to an invalid read of size 1 and an invalid write of size 1 during processing of a corrupt binary containing reloc(s) with negative addresses.

2017-05-01 CVE-2017-8396 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in GNU Binutils 2.28
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't catch small negative offsets less than the size of the reloc field.

2017-05-01 CVE-2017-8395 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in GNU Binutils 2.28
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.

2017-05-01 CVE-2017-8394 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in GNU Binutils 2.28
The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to an invalid read of size 4 due to NULL pointer dereferencing of _bfd_elf_large_com_section.

2017-05-01 CVE-2017-8393 Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in GNU Binutils 2.28
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.

2017-05-01 CVE-2017-8392 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in GNU Binutils 2.28
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 to determine whether symbols are NULL in the _bfd_dwarf2_find_nearest_line function.
