Description:
This update for binutils to version 2.31 fixes the following issues:
These security issues were fixed:
- CVE-2017-15996: readelf allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of

archive header (bsc#1065643)
- CVE-2017-15939: Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd)
mishandled NULL files in a .debug_line file table, which allowed remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and
application crash) via a crafted ELF file, related to concat_filename
(bsc#1065689)
- CVE-2017-15938: the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd)
miscalculated DW_FORM_ref_addr die refs in the case of a relocatable
object file, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(find_abstract_instance_name invalid memory read, segmentation fault,
and application crash) (bsc#1065693)
- CVE-2017-16826: The coff_slurp_line_table function the Binary File
Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) allowed 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
(bsc#1068640)
- CVE-2017-16832: The pe_bfd_read_buildid function in the Binary File
Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) did not validate size and offset
values in the data dictionary, which allowed remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (segmentation violation and application crash) or
possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PE file
(bsc#1068643)
- CVE-2017-16831: Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) did
not validate the symbol count, which allowed 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 (bsc#1068887)
- CVE-2017-16830: The print_gnu_property_note function did not have
integer-overflow protection on 32-bit platforms, which allowed remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation violation and
application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a

other impact via a crafted ELF file (bsc#1068950)
- CVE-2017-16828: The display_debug_frames function allowed remote

- CVE-2018-6323: The elf_object_p function in the Binary File Descriptor
(BFD) library (aka libbfd) had an unsigned integer overflow because
bfd_size_type multiplication is not used. A crafted ELF file allowed

possibly have unspecified
other impact (bsc#1077745)
- CVE-2018-6543: Prevent integer overflow in the function
load_specific_debug_section() which resulted in `malloc()` with 0 size.

(application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact
(bsc#1079103)
- CVE-2018-6759: The bfd_get_debug_link_info_1 function in the Binary File

- CVE-2018-7570: The assign_file_positions_for_non_load_sections function
in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) allowed remote

application crash) via an ELF file with a RELRO segment that lacks a
matching LOAD segment, as demonstrated by objcopy (bsc#1083528)
- CVE-2018-7569: The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd)
allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer underflow
or overflow, and application crash) via an ELF file with a corrupt DWARF
FORM block, as demonstrated by nm (bsc#1083532)
- CVE-2018-8945: The bfd_section_from_shdr function in the Binary File
Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) allowed remote attackers to cause
a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a large attribute section
(bsc#1086608)
- CVE-2018-7643: The display_debug_ranges function allowed remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and application
crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file,
as demonstrated by
objdump (bsc#1086784)
- CVE-2018-7642: The swap_std_reloc_in function in the Binary File
Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) allowed remote attackers to cause
a denial of service (aout_32_swap_std_reloc_out NULL pointer dereference
and application crash) via a crafted ELF file, as demonstrated by
objcopy (bsc#1086786)
- CVE-2018-7568: The parse_die function in the Binary File Descriptor
(BFD) library (aka libbfd) allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (integer overflow and application crash) via an ELF file with
corrupt dwarf1 debug information, as demonstrated by nm (bsc#1086788)
- CVE-2018-10373: concat_filename in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD)
library (aka libbfd) allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted
binary file, as demonstrated by nm-new (bsc#1090997)
- CVE-2018-10372: process_cu_tu_index allowed remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash)
via a crafted binary file, as demonstrated by readelf (bsc#1091015)
- CVE-2018-10535: The ignore_section_sym function in the Binary File
Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) did not validate the
output_section pointer in the case of a symtab entry with a "SECTION"
type that has a "0" value, which allowed remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a
crafted file, as demonstrated by objcopy (bsc#1091365)
- CVE-2018-10534: The _bfd_XX_bfd_copy_private_bfd_data_common function in
the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd) processesed a
negative Data Directory size with an unbounded loop that increased the
value of (external_IMAGE_DEBUG_DIRECTORY) *edd so that the address
exceeded its own memory region, resulting in an out-of-bounds memory
write, as demonstrated by
objcopy copying private info with
_bfd_pex64_bfd_copy_private_bfd_data_common in pex64igen.c (bsc#1091368)
These non-security issues were fixed:
- The AArch64 port now supports showing disassembly notes which are
emitted when inconsistencies are found with the instruction that may
result in the instruction being invalid. These can be turned on with
the option -M notes to objdump.
- The AArch64 port now emits warnings when a combination of an instruction
and a named register could be invalid.
- Added O modifier to ar to display member offsets inside an archive
- The ADR and ADRL pseudo-instructions supported by the ARM assembler now
only set the bottom bit of the address of thumb function symbols if the
-mthumb-interwork command line option is active.
- Add --generate-missing-build-notes=[yes|no] option to create (or not)
GNU Build Attribute notes if none are present in the input sources. Add
a
--enable-generate-build-notes=[yes|no] configure time option to set the
default behaviour. Set the default if the configure option is not used
to "no".
- Remove -mold-gcc command-line option for x86 targets.
- Add -O[2|s] command-line options to x86 assembler to enable alternate
shorter instruction encoding.
- Add support for .nops directive. It is currently supported only for x86
targets.
- Speed up direct linking with DLLs for Cygwin and Mingw targets.
- Add a configure option --enable-separate-code to decide whether
-z separate-code should be enabled in ELF linker by default. Default to
yes for Linux/x86 targets. Note that -z separate-code can increase
disk and memory size.
- RISC-V: Fix symbol address problem with versioned symbols
- Restore riscv64-elf cross prefix via symlinks
- Fix pacemaker libqb problem with section start/stop symbols
- RISC-V: Don't enable relaxation in relocatable link
- Prevent linking faiures on i386 with assertion (bsc#1085784)
- Fix symbol size bug when relaxation deletes bytes
- Add --debug-dump=links option to readelf and --dwarf=links option to
objdump which displays the contents of any .gnu_debuglink or
.gnu_debugaltlink sections. Add a --debug-dump=follow-links option to
readelf and a --dwarf=follow-links
option to objdump which causes indirect links into separate debug info
files to be followed when dumping other DWARF sections.
- Add support for loaction views in DWARF debug line information.
- Add -z separate-code to generate separate code PT_LOAD segment.
- Add "-z undefs" command line option as the inverse of the "-z defs"
option.
- Add -z globalaudit command line option to force audit libraries to be
run for every dynamic object loaded by an executable - provided that the
loader supports this functionality.
- Tighten linker script grammar around file name specifiers to prevent the
use
of SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT and SORT_BY_INIT_PRIORITY on filenames. These
would previously be accepted but had no effect.
- The EXCLUDE_FILE directive can now be placed within any SORT_* directive
within input section lists.
- Fix linker relaxation with --wrap
