<title>Binutils, elfutils: Buffer overflow</title>
|
|
<synopsis>
|
|
Various utilities from the GNU Binutils and elfutils packages are
|
|
vulnerable to a heap based buffer overflow, potentially resulting in the
|
|
execution of arbitrary code.

The GNU Binutils are a collection of tools to create, modify and
|
|
analyse binary files. Many of the files use BFD, the Binary File
|
|
Descriptor library, to do low-level manipulation. Elfutils provides a
|
|
library and utilities to access, modify and analyse ELF objects.

<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Tavis Ormandy and Ned Ludd of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team
|
|
discovered an integer overflow in the BFD library and elfutils,
|
|
resulting in a heap based buffer overflow.

|

|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
Successful exploitation would require a user to access a specially
|
|
crafted binary file, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
|
|
</p>
|

</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

All GNU Binutils users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose sys-devel/binutils</code>
|

|
All elfutils users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/elfutils-0.108"</code>
