patch: OS shell command injection when processing crafted patch files

GNU patch through 2.7.6 is vulnerable to OS shell command injection that can be exploited by opening a crafted patch file that contains an ed style diff payload with shell metacharacters. The ed editor does not need to be present on the vulnerable system. This is different from CVE-2018-1000156.

An issue was discovered in GNU recutils 1.8. There is a stack-based buffer overflow in the function rec_type_check_enum at rec-types.c in librec.a.

An issue was discovered in GNU recutils 1.8. There is a NULL pointer dereference in the function rec_field_name_equal_p at rec-field-name.c in librec.a, leading to a crash.

An issue was discovered in GNU recutils 1.8. There is a NULL pointer dereference in the function rec_rset_get_props at rec-rset.c in librec.a, leading to a crash.

binutils: Improper Input Validation, Signed/Unsigned Comparison, Out-of-bounds Read in gold/fileread.cc and elfcpp/elfcpp_file.h leads to denial of service

GNU binutils gold gold v1.11-v1.16 (GNU binutils v2.21-v2.31.1) is affected by: Improper Input Validation, Signed/Unsigned Comparison, Out-of-bounds Read. The impact is: Denial of service. The component is: gold/fileread.cc:497, elfcpp/elfcpp_file.h:644. The attack vector is: An ELF file with an invalid e_shoff header field must be opened.

binutils: Stack-overflow in libiberty/cplus-dem.c causes crash

An issue was discovered in cplus-dem.c in GNU libiberty, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.30. Stack Exhaustion occurs in the C++ demangling functions provided by libiberty, and there are recursive stack frames: demangle_template_value_parm, demangle_integral_value, and demangle_expression.

binutils: Stack Exhaustion in the the C++ demangling functions provided by libiberty

An issue was discovered in cplus-dem.c in GNU libiberty, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29 and 2.30. Stack Exhaustion occurs in the C++ demangling functions provided by libiberty, and there are recursive stack frames: demangle_nested_args, demangle_args, do_arg, and do_type.

binutils: Crash in elf.c:bfd_section_from_shdr() with crafted executable

The bfd_section_from_shdr function in elf.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.30, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a large attribute section.

binutils: Integer overflow in the display_debug_ranges function resulting in crash

The display_debug_ranges function in dwarf.c in GNU Binutils 2.30 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file, as demonstrated by objdump.

binutils: NULL pointer dereference in swap_std_reloc_in function in aoutx.h resulting in crash

The swap_std_reloc_in function in aoutx.h in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.30, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (aout_32_swap_std_reloc_out NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted ELF file, as demonstrated by objcopy.

binutils: NULL pointer dereference the assign_file_positions_for_non_load_sections function in libbfd library

The assign_file_positions_for_non_load_sections function in elf.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.30, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via an ELF file with a RELRO segment that lacks a matching LOAD segment, as demonstrated by objcopy.

binutils: integer underflow or overflow via an ELF file with a corrupt DWARF FORM block in libbfd library

dwarf2.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.30, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer underflow or overflow, and application crash) via an ELF file with a corrupt DWARF FORM block, as demonstrated by nm.

binutils: integer overflow via an ELF file with corrupt dwarf1 debug information in libbfd library

The parse_die function in dwarf1.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.30, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and application crash) via an ELF file with corrupt dwarf1 debug information, as demonstrated by nm.
