EulerOS Virtualization 2.11.1 : binutils (EulerOS-SA-2023-2717)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 188807

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

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

 - 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)

 - A flaw was found in Binutils. The use of an uninitialized field in the struct module *module may lead to application crash and local denial of service. (CVE-2023-25585)

 - Rejected reason: DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER. ConsultIDs: none. Reason: This candidate was withdrawn by its CNA. Further investigation showed that it was not a security issue. Notes: none. (CVE-2023-25587)

 - A flaw was found in Binutils. The field `the_bfd` of `asymbol`struct is uninitialized in the `bfd_mach_o_get_synthetic_symtab` function, which may lead to an application crash and local denial of service. (CVE-2023-25588)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected binutils packages.
