The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202309-15 (GNU Binutils: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  - An illegal memory access flaw was found in the binutils package. Parsing an ELF file containing corrupt     symbol version information may result in a denial of service. This issue is the result of an incomplete     fix for CVE-2020-16599. (CVE-2022-4285)

  - In GNU Binutils before 2.40, there is a heap-buffer-overflow in the error function bfd_getl32 when called     from the strip_main function in strip-new via a crafted file. (CVE-2022-38533)

  - Heap based buffer overflow in binutils-gdb/bfd/libbfd.c in bfd_getl64. (CVE-2023-1579)

  - A potential heap based buffer overflow was found in _bfd_elf_slurp_version_tables() in bfd/elf.c. This may     lead to loss of availability. (CVE-2023-1972)

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

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

  - An issue was discovered in the Bidirectional Algorithm in the Unicode Specification through 14.0. It     permits the visual reordering of characters via control sequences, which can be used to craft source code     that renders different logic than the logical ordering of tokens ingested by compilers and interpreters.
    Adversaries can leverage this to encode source code for compilers accepting Unicode such that targeted     vulnerabilities are introduced invisibly to human reviewers. NOTE: the Unicode Consortium offers the     following alternative approach to presenting this concern. An issue is noted in the nature of     international text that can affect applications that implement support for The Unicode Standard and the     Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm (all versions). Due to text display behavior when text includes left-to-     right and right-to-left characters, the visual order of tokens may be different from their logical order.
    Additionally, control characters needed to fully support the requirements of bidirectional text can     further obfuscate the logical order of tokens. Unless mitigated, an adversary could craft source code such     that the ordering of tokens perceived by human reviewers does not match what will be processed by a     compiler/interpreter/etc. The Unicode Consortium has documented this class of vulnerability in its     document, Unicode Technical Report #36, Unicode Security Considerations. The Unicode Consortium also     provides guidance on mitigations for this class of issues in Unicode Technical Standard #39, Unicode     Security Mechanisms, and in Unicode Standard Annex #31, Unicode Identifier and Pattern Syntax. Also, the     BIDI specification allows applications to tailor the implementation in ways that can mitigate misleading     visual reordering in program text; see HL4 in Unicode Standard Annex #9, Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm.

  - In GNU Binutils before 2.40, there is a heap-buffer-overflow in the error function bfd_getl32 when called     from the strip_main function in strip-new via a crafted file. (CVE-2022-38533)

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

  - zlib before 1.2.12 allows memory corruption when deflating (i.e., when compressing) if the input has many     distant matches. (CVE-2018-25032)

  - zlib through 1.2.12 has a heap-based buffer over-read or buffer overflow in inflate in inflate.c via a     large gzip header extra field. NOTE: only applications that call inflateGetHeader are affected. Some     common applications bundle the affected zlib source code but may be unable to call inflateGetHeader (e.g.,     see the nodejs/node reference). (CVE-2022-37434)

  - stab_xcoff_builtin_type in stabs.c in GNU Binutils through 2.37 allows attackers to cause a denial of     service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact, as demonstrated by an out-     of-bounds write. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2018-12699. (CVE-2021-45078)

  - GCC v12.0 was discovered to contain an uncontrolled recursion via the component libiberty/rust-demangle.c.
