Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4285)
CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The 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.
2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48064)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The 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.
3) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1972)
CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the _bfd_elf_slurp_version_tables() function in bfd/elf.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted file to the application, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-16599)
CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The 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.
