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

  - Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc15 has a heap-based     buffer over-read in expand_mmac_params in asm/preproc.c     for insufficient input.(CVE-2018-19214)

  - Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc16 has a heap-based     buffer over-read in expand_mmac_params in asm/preproc.c     for the special cases of the % and $ and !     characters.(CVE-2018-19215)

  - Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.13.02rc2 has a heap-based     buffer over-read in the function tokenize in     asm/preproc.c, related to an unterminated     string.(CVE-2018-8881)

  - Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.13.02rc2 has a stack-based     buffer under-read in the function ieee_shr in     asm/float.c via a large shift value.(CVE-2018-8882)

  - In Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc0, there are multiple     heap use after free vulnerabilities in the tool nasm.
    The related heap is allocated in the token() function     and freed in the detoken() function (called by     pp_getline()) - it is used again at multiple positions     later that could cause multiple damages. For example,     it causes a corrupted double-linked list in detoken(),     a double free or corruption in delete_Token(), and an     out-of-bounds write in detoken(). It has a high     possibility to lead to a remote code execution     attack.(CVE-2017-10686)

  - In Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc0, preproc.c allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     file.(CVE-2017-11111)

  - In Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc0, there is a     heap-based buffer over-read that will cause a remote     denial of service attack, related to a while loop in     paste_tokens in asm/preproc.c.(CVE-2017-17818)

  - In Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc0, there is a     heap-based buffer overflow that will cause a remote     denial of service attack, related to a strcpy in     paste_tokens in asm/preproc.c, a similar issue to     CVE-2017-11111.(CVE-2017-17811)

  - In Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc0, there is a     use-after-free in the pp_list_one_macro function in     asm/preproc.c that will cause a remote denial of     service attack, related to mishandling of line-syntax     errors.(CVE-2017-17813)

  - In Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc0, there is a     use-after-free in do_directive in asm/preproc.c that     will cause a remote denial of service     attack.(CVE-2017-17814)

  - In Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc0, there is a     use-after-free in pp_getline in asm/preproc.c that will     cause a remote denial of service     attack.(CVE-2017-17816)

  - In Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc0, there is a     use-after-free in pp_verror in asm/preproc.c that will     cause a remote denial of service     attack.(CVE-2017-17817)

  - In Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc0, there is a     heap-based buffer over-read that will cause a remote     denial of service attack, related to a while loop in     paste_tokens in asm/preproc.c.(CVE-2017-17818)

  - In Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc0, there is a     use-after-free in pp_list_one_macro in asm/preproc.c     that will lead to a remote denial of service attack,     related to mishandling of operand-type     errors.(CVE-2017-17820)

This update for nasm fixes the following issues :

nasm was updated to version 2.14.02.

This allows building of Mozilla Firefox 78ESR and also contains lots of bugfixes, security fixes and improvements.

Fix crash due to multiple errors or warnings during the code generation pass if a list file is specified.

Create all system-defined macros defore processing command-line given preprocessing directives (-p, -d, -u, --pragma, --before).

If debugging is enabled, define a __DEBUG_FORMAT__ predefined macro.
See section 4.11.7.

Fix an assert for the case in the obj format when a SEG operator refers to an EXTERN symbol declared further down in the code.

Fix a corner case in the floating-point code where a binary, octal or hexadecimal floating-point having at least 32, 11, or 8 mantissa digits could produce slightly incorrect results under very specific conditions.

Support -MD without a filename, for gcc compatibility. -MF can be used to set the dependencies output filename. See section 2.1.7.

Fix -E in combination with -MD. See section 2.1.21.

Fix missing errors on redefined labels; would cause convergence failure instead which is very slow and not easy to debug.

Duplicate definitions of the same label with the same value is now explicitly permitted (2.14 would allow it in some circumstances.)

Add the option --no-line to ignore %line directives in the source. See section 2.1.33 and section 4.10.1.

Changed -I option semantics by adding a trailing path separator unconditionally.

Fixed null dereference in corrupted invalid single line macros.

Fixed division by zero which may happen if source code is malformed.

Fixed out of bound access in processing of malformed segment override.

Fixed out of bound access in certain EQU parsing.

Fixed buffer underflow in float parsing.

Added SGX (Intel Software Guard Extensions) instructions.

Added +n syntax for multiple contiguous registers.

Fixed subsections_via_symbols for macho object format.

Added the --gprefix, --gpostfix, --lprefix, and --lpostfix command line options, to allow command line base symbol renaming. See section 2.1.28.

Allow label renaming to be specified by %pragma in addition to from the command line. See section 6.9.

Supported generic %pragma namespaces, output and debug. See section 6.10.

Added the --pragma command line option to inject a %pragma directive.
See section 2.1.29.

Added the --before command line option to accept preprocess statement before input. See section 2.1.30.

Added AVX512 VBMI2 (Additional Bit Manipulation), VNNI (Vector Neural Network), BITALG (Bit Algorithm), and GFNI (Galois Field New Instruction) instructions.

Added the STATIC directive for local symbols that should be renamed using global-symbol rules. See section 6.8.

Allow a symbol to be defined as EXTERN and then later overridden as GLOBAL or COMMON. Furthermore, a symbol declared EXTERN and then defined will be treated as GLOBAL. See section 6.5.

The GLOBAL directive no longer is required to precede the definition of the symbol.

Support private_extern as macho specific extension to the GLOBAL directive. See section 7.8.5.

Updated UD0 encoding to match with the specification

Added the --limit-X command line option to set execution limits. See section 2.1.31.

Updated the Codeview version number to be aligned with MASM.

Added the --keep-all command line option to preserve output files. See section 2.1.32.

Added the --include command line option, an alias to -P (section 2.1.18).

Added the --help command line option as an alias to -h (section 3.1).

Added -W, -D, and -Q suffix aliases for RET instructions so the operand sizes of these instructions can be encoded without using o16, o32 or o64.

New upstream version 2.13.03 :

Add flags: AES, VAES, VPCLMULQDQ

Add VPCLMULQDQ instruction

elf: Add missing dwarf loc section

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

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3694-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that NASM incorrectly handled certain source files. If a user or automated system were     tricked into processing a specially crafted source file, a remote attacker could use these issues to cause     NASM 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.
