CVE-2018-19932 GNU binutils vulnerabilities
Title: GNU binutils vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in GNU binutils.
USN-4336-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in GNU binutils. This update provides
the corresponding update for Ubuntu 16.04 ESM.
Original advisory details:
It was discovered that GNU binutils contained a large number of security
issues. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a
specially-crafted file, a remote attacker could cause GNU binutils to
crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary
code.
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

A vulnerability was found in GNU Binutils due to an integer overflow in the IS_CONTAINED_BY_LMA function within elf.c in libbfd, where an attacker could exploit this flaw by persuading a victim to open a specially crafted file, causing the application to enter an infinite loop and resulting in a denial of service condition.
Statement: This vulnerability was rated as LOW severity because it requires the victim to open a specially crafted file, it does not lead to system co

Discussion:
Reproduces quite easily -- infinite loop printing an assertion in all versions of RHEL packages post rhel-5. binutils 220 in rhel-5 does not appear to package strip, hence is notaffected.
```

## Abstract
Fuzzing has become the de facto standard technique for finding software vulnerabilities. However, even state-of-the-art fuzzers are not very efficient at finding hard-to-trigger software bugs. Most popular fuzzers use evolutionary guidance to generate inputs that can trigger different bugs. Such evolutionary algorithms, while fast and simple to implement, often get stuck in fruitless sequences of random mutations. Gradient-guided optimization presents a promising alternative to evolutionary guidance. Gradient-guided techniques have been shown to significantly outperform evolutionary algorithms at solving hig
