Multiple integer overflows in libgfortran might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (Fortran application crash) via vectors related to array allocation.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - gcc: integer overflow flaws in libgfortran (CVE-2014-5044)

  - Integer overflow in the new[] operator in gcc before 4.8.0 allows attackers to have unspecified impacts.
    (CVE-2002-2439)

  - Integer overflow in the string_appends function in cplus-dem.c in libiberty allows remote attackers to     execute arbitrary code via a crafted executable, which triggers a buffer overflow. (CVE-2016-2226)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - gcc: integer overflow flaws in libgfortran (CVE-2014-5044)

  - The std::random_device class in libstdc++ in the GNU Compiler Collection (aka GCC) before 4.9.4 does not     properly handle short reads from blocking sources, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers     to predict the random values via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2015-5276)

  - Integer overflow in the string_appends function in cplus-dem.c in libiberty allows remote attackers to     execute arbitrary code via a crafted executable, which triggers a buffer overflow. (CVE-2016-2226)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - gcc: integer overflow flaws in libgfortran (CVE-2014-5044)

  - Integer overflow in the new[] operator in gcc before 4.8.0 allows attackers to have unspecified impacts.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.04 / MAIN 5.04, has gcc packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Multiple integer overflows in libgfortran might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause     a denial of service (Fortran application crash) via vectors related to array allocation. (CVE-2014-5044)

  - The std::random_device class in libstdc++ in the GNU Compiler Collection (aka GCC) before 4.9.4 does not     properly handle short reads from blocking sources, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers     to predict the random values via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2015-5276)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has gcc packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Multiple integer overflows in libgfortran might allow     remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a     denial of service (Fortran application crash) via     vectors related to array allocation. (CVE-2014-5044)

Updated gcc packages fix the following security issue :

Multiple integer overflow issues were found in libgfortran, the run-time support library for the Fortran compiler. These could possibly be used to crash a Fortran application or cause it to execute arbitrary code CVE-2014-5044).

They also fix the following bugs :

The gcc rtl-optimization sched2 miscompiles syscall sequence wich can cause random panic in glibc and kernel (gcc/PR61801)

clang++ fails to find cxxabi.h and cxxabi_tweaks.h during build (mga#13543)
