DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2017-11-15 CVE-2017-16831 Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in GNU Binutils 2.29.1
coffgen.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29.1, does not validate the symbol count, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and application crash, or excessive memory allocation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PE file.

2017-11-15 CVE-2017-16830 Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in GNU Binutils 2.29.1
The print_gnu_property_note function in readelf.c in GNU Binutils 2.29.1 does not have integer-overflow protection on 32-bit platforms, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation violation and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file.

2017-11-15 CVE-2017-16829 Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in GNU Binutils 2.29.1
The _bfd_elf_parse_gnu_properties function in elf-properties.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29.1, does not prevent negative pointers, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file.

2017-11-15 CVE-2017-16828 Integer Overflow or Wraparound vulnerability in GNU Binutils 2.29.1
The display_debug_frames function in dwarf.c in GNU Binutils 2.29.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and heap-based buffer over-read, and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file, related to print_debug_frame.

2017-11-15 CVE-2017-16827 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in GNU Binutils 2.29.1
The aout_get_external_symbols function in aoutx.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 (slurp_symtab invalid free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file.

2017-10-31 CVE-2017-1000383 Information Exposure vulnerability in GNU Emacs
GNU Emacs version 25.3.1 (and other versions most likely) ignores umask when creating a backup save file ("[ORIGINAL_FILENAME]~") resulting in files that may be world readable or otherwise accessible in ways not intended by the user running the emacs binary.

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-2017-15939 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in GNU Binutils 2.29
dwarf2.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29, mishandles NULL files in a .debug_line file table, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted ELF file, related to concat_filename.

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).
