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.

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.
An integer wraparound has been discovered in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library distributed in GNU Binutils up to version 2.30. An attacker could cause a crash by providing an ELF file with corrupted DWARF debug information.

CVE-2018-7569 binutils: integer underflow or overflow via an ELF file with a corrupt DWARF FORM block in libbfd library
A flaw was found in the read_attribute_value function in dwarf2.c file in the
Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU
Binutils up to version 2.30, when compiled in 32bit mode. This allows attackers to cause a denial of service (integer wraparound and application
crash) via an ELF file with a corrupt DWARF FORM block.
