The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4336-2 advisory.

    USN-4336-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in GNU binutils. This update provides the corresponding update     for Ubuntu 16.04 ESM.

    Original advisory details:

    It was discovered that GNU binutils contained a large number of security

    issues. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a

    specially-crafted file, a remote attacker could cause GNU binutils to

    crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary

    code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

    _bfd_generic_get_section_contents function. This     vulnerability causes programs that conduct an analysis     of binary programs using the libbfd library, such as     objcopy, to crash.(CVE-2017-8395)

  - The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd),     as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to a     global buffer over-read error because of an assumption     made by code that runs for objcopy and strip, that     SHT_REL/SHR_RELA sections are always named starting     with a .rel/.rela prefix. This vulnerability causes     programs that conduct an analysis of binary programs     using the libbfd library, such as objcopy and strip, to     crash.(CVE-2017-8393)

  - The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd),     as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to     an invalid read (of size 8) because of missing a check     (in the copy_special_section_fields function) for an     invalid sh_link field before attempting to follow it.
    This vulnerability causes Binutils utilities like strip     to crash.(CVE-2017-7304)

  - The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd),     as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to     an invalid read (of size 4) because of missing a check     (in the find_link function) for null headers before     attempting to match them. This vulnerability causes     Binutils utilities like strip to crash.(CVE-2017-7303)

  - The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd),     as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, has a     swap_std_reloc_out function in bfd/aoutx.h that is     vulnerable to an invalid read (of size 4) because of     missing checks for relocs that could not be recognised.
    This vulnerability causes Binutils utilities like strip     to crash.(CVE-2017-7302)

  - The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd),     as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, has an     aout_link_add_symbols function in bfd/aoutx.h that has     an off-by-one vulnerability because it does not     carefully check the string offset. The vulnerability     could lead to a GNU linker (ld) program     crash.(CVE-2017-7301)

  - The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd),     as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, has an     aout_link_add_symbols function in bfd/aoutx.h that is     vulnerable to a heap-based buffer over-read     (off-by-one) because of an incomplete check for invalid     string offsets while loading symbols, leading to a GNU     linker (ld) program crash.(CVE-2017-7300)

  - GNU Binutils 2017-04-03 allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and     application crash), related to the     process_mips_specific function in readelf.c, via a     crafted ELF file that triggers a large     memory-allocation attempt.(CVE-2017-9040)

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.
