2017-06-07 CVE-2016-4973 Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in GNU Libssp
Binaries compiled against targets that use the libssp library in GCC for stack smashing protection (SSP) might allow local users to perform buffer overflow attacks by leveraging lack of the Object Size Checking feature.

2017-05-22 CVE-2017-6891 Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in multiple products
Two errors in the "asn1_find_node()" function (lib/parser_aux.c) within GnuTLS libtasn1 version 4.10 can be exploited to cause a stacked-based buffer overflow by tricking a user into processing a specially crafted assignments file via the e.g.

2017-05-07 CVE-2017-8804 Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in GNU Glibc 2.25
The xdr_bytes and xdr_string functions in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.25 mishandle failures of buffer deserialization, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (virtual memory allocation, or memory consumption if an overcommit setting is not used) via a crafted UDP packet to port 111, a related issue to CVE-2017-8779.

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.
