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

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).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201801-01 (Binutils: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Binutils. Please review       the referenced CVE identifiers for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker, by enticing a user to compile/execute a specially       crafted ELF, tekhex, PE, or binary file, could possibly cause a Denial of       Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There are no known workarounds at this time.

According to the versions of the binutils packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - 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).(CVE-2017-15938)

  - 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.(CVE-2017-15996)
