The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has binutils packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • find_abstract_instance in dwarf2.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.32, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion and application crash) via a crafted ELF file. (CVE-2019-17450)

  • An issue was discovered in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.32. It is an out-of-bounds read leading to a SEGV in bfd_getl32 in libbfd.c, when called from pex64_get_runtime_function in pei-x86_64.c. (CVE-2019-9074)

  • An issue was discovered in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.32. It is a heap-based buffer overflow in _bfd_archive_64_bit_slurp_armap in archive64.c.
    (CVE-2019-9075)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
