Descriptions

Multiple integer overflows in the (1) _objalloc_alloc function in objalloc.c and (2) objalloc_alloc macro in include/objalloc.h in GNU libiberty, as used by binutils 2.22, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors related to the "addition of CHUNK_HEADER_SIZE to the length," which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Varias vulnerabilidades de desbordamiento de enteros en la función _objalloc_alloc (1) en objalloc.c y (2) macro objalloc_alloc en include/objalloc.h en GNU libiberty, utilizada por binutils v2.22, permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) a través de vectores relacionada con la "adición de CHUNK_HEADER_SIZE a la longitud", lo que provoca un desbordamiento de búfer basado en heap

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found and corrected in binutils. Multiple integer overflows in the _objalloc_alloc function in objalloc.c and objalloc_alloc macro in include/objalloc.h in GNU libiberty, as used by binutils 2.22, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via vectors related to the addition of CHUNK_HEADER_SIZE to the length, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. The srec_scan function in bfd/srec.c in libdbfd in GNU binutils before 2.25 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a small S-record. Various other issues have also been addressed. The updated packages provide a solution for these security issues.
