DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2017-11-15 CVE-2017-16826 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in GNU Binutils 2.29.1
The coff_slurp_line_table function in coffcode.h in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29.1, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory access and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PE file.

2017-10-29 CVE-2017-15996 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in GNU Binutils 2.29
elfcomm.c in readelf in GNU Binutils 2.29 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (excessive memory allocation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file that triggers a "buffer overflow on fuzzed archive header," related to an uninitialized variable, an improper conditional jump, and the get_archive_member_name, process_archive_index_and_symbols, and setup_archive functions.

2017-10-27 CVE-2017-15938 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in GNU Binutils 2.29
dwarf2.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29, miscalculates DW_FORM_ref_addr die refs in the case of a relocatable object file, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (find_abstract_instance_name invalid memory read, segmentation fault, and application crash).

2017-10-05 CVE-2017-15020 Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in GNU Binutils 2.29
dwarf1.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29, mishandles pointers, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file, related to parse_die and parse_line_table, as demonstrated by a parse_die heap-based buffer over-read.

2017-09-26 CVE-2017-14745 Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in GNU Binutils 2.29
The *_get_synthetic_symtab 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 possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file, related to elf32-i386.c and elf64-x86-64.c.

2017-09-25 CVE-2017-14729 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in GNU Binutils 2.29
The *_get_synthetic_symtab functions in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29, do not ensure a unique PLT entry for a symbol, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file, related to elf32-i386.c and elf64-x86-64.c.

2017-09-12 CVE-2017-14333 Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in GNU Binutils 2.29
The process_version_sections function in readelf.c in GNU Binutils 2.29 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (Integer Overflow, and hang because of a time-consuming loop) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted binary file with invalid values of ent.vn_next, during "readelf -a" execution.

2017-08-27 CVE-2017-13710 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in GNU Binutils 2.29
The setup_group function in elf.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a group section that is too small.
