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

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6413-1 advisory.

  - The dump_relocs_in_section function in objdump.c in GNU Binutils 2.29.1 does not check for reloc count     integer overflows, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (excessive memory     allocation, or heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact     via a crafted PE file. (CVE-2017-17122)

  - The function coff_set_alignment_hook in coffcode.h in Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd),     as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, has a memory leak vulnerability which can cause memory exhaustion in     objdump via a crafted PE file. Additional validation in dump_relocs_in_section in objdump.c can resolve     this. (CVE-2017-8421)

  - load_specific_debug_section in objdump.c in GNU Binutils through 2.31.1 contains an integer overflow     vulnerability that can trigger a heap-based buffer overflow via a crafted section size. (CVE-2018-20671)

  - In GNU Binutils 2.30, there's an integer overflow in the function load_specific_debug_section() in     objdump.c, which results in `malloc()` with 0 size. A crafted ELF file allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact. (CVE-2018-6543)

  - An issue was discovered in Binutils readelf 2.38.50, reachable assertion failure in function     display_debug_names allows attackers to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-35205)
