  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

According to the versions of the binutils package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Ruby through 2.4.7, 2.5.x through 2.5.6, and 2.6.x     through 2.6.4 allows HTTP Response Splitting. If a     program using WEBrick inserts untrusted input into the     response header, an attacker can exploit it to insert a     newline character to split a header, and inject     malicious content to deceive clients. NOTE: this issue     exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-17742,     which addressed the CRLF vector, but did not address an     isolated CR or an isolated LF.(CVE-2019-9076)

  - An issue was discovered in the Binary File Descriptor     (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU     Binutils 2.32. It is an attempted excessive memory     allocation in elf_read_notes in elf.c.(CVE-2019-9074)

  - An issue was discovered in the Binary File Descriptor     (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU     Binutils 2.32. It is an out-of-bounds read leading to a     SEGV in bfd_getl32 in libbfd.c, when called from     pex64_get_runtime_function in     pei-x86_64.c.(CVE-2019-14250)

  - An issue was discovered in GNU libiberty, as     distributed in GNU Binutils 2.32. It is a stack     consumption issue in d_count_templates_scopes in     cp-demangle.c after many recursive     calls.(CVE-2019-9071)

  - An issue was discovered in GNU libiberty, as     distributed in GNU Binutils 2.32. It is a heap-based     buffer over-read in d_expression_1 in cp-demangle.c     after many recursive calls.(CVE-2019-9070)

  - The demangle_template function in cplus-dem.c in GNU     libiberty, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.31.1, has a     memory leak via a crafted string, leading to a denial     of service (memory consumption), as demonstrated by     cxxfilt, a related issue to     CVE-2018-12698.(CVE-2018-20657)

  - The get_count function in cplus-dem.c in GNU libiberty,     as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.31, allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (malloc called     with the result of an integer-overflowing calculation)     or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     string, as demonstrated by c++filt.(CVE-2018-18483)

  - The _bfd_generic_read_minisymbols function in syms.c in     the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd),     as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.31, has a memory leak     via a crafted ELF file, leading to a denial of service     (memory consumption), as demonstrated by     nm.(CVE-2018-20002)

  - apply_relocations in readelf.c in GNU Binutils 2.32     contains an integer overflow that allows attackers to     trigger a write access violation (in     byte_put_little_endian function in elfcomm.c) via an     ELF file, as demonstrated by readelf.(CVE-2019-14444)
