Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) NULL pointer dereference
EUVDB-ID: #VU76453
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4285
CWE-ID:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error when parsing an ELF file containing corrupt symbol version information. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
MitigationInstall updates from vendor's repository.

2) Resource exhaustion
EUVDB-ID: #VU86948
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48064
CWE-ID:
CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources within the bfd_dwarf2_find_nearest_line_with_alt() function in dwarf2.c. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion via a crafted ELF file and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

4) NULL pointer dereference
EUVDB-ID: #VU79354
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-16599
CWE-ID:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in _bfd_elf_get_symbol_version_string. A local attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted file and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
