CVE-2015-8972 1 Gnu 1 Chess 2025-04-20 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
Stack-based buffer overflow in the ValidateMove function in frontend/move.cc in GNU Chess (aka gnuchess) before 6.2.4 might allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large input, as demonstrated when in UCI mode.
CVE-2017-15939 1 Gnu 1 Binutils 2025-04-20 4.3 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
dwarf2.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29, mishandles NULL files in a .debug_line file table, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted ELF file, related to concat_filename. NOTE: this issue is caused by an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-15023.
CVE-2017-9954 1 Gnu 1 Binutils 2025-04-20 4.3 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
The getvalue function in tekhex.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted tekhex file, as demonstrated by mishandling within the nm program.
CVE-2017-16831 1 Gnu 1 Binutils 2025-04-20 6.8 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
coffgen.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29.1, does not validate the symbol count, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and application crash, or excessive memory allocation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PE file.
CVE-2017-17125 1 Gnu 1 Binutils 2025-04-20 6.8 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
nm.c and objdump.c in GNU Binutils 2.29.1 mishandle certain global symbols, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (_bfd_elf_get_symbol_version_string buffer over-read and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file.
CVE-2017-6966 1 Gnu 1 Binutils 2025-04-20 4.3 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
readelf in GNU Binutils 2.28 has a use-after-free (specifically read-after-free) error while processing multiple, relocated sections in an MSP430 binary. This is caused by mishandling of an invalid symbol index, and mishandling of state across invocations.
CVE-2016-8605 2 Fedoraproject, Gnu 2 Fedora, Guile 2025-04-20 5.0 MEDIUM 5.3 MEDIUM
The mkdir procedure of GNU Guile temporarily changed the process' umask to zero. During that time window, in a multithreaded application, other threads could end up creating files with insecure permissions. For example, mkdir without the optional mode argument would create directories as 0777. This is fixed in Guile 2.0.13. Prior versions are affected.
CVE-2017-8421 1 Gnu 1 Binutils 2025-04-20 7.1 HIGH 5.5 MEDIUM
The function coff_set_alignment_hook in coffcode.h in Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, has a memory leak vulnerability which can cause memory exhaustion in objdump via a crafted PE file. Additional validation in dump_relocs_in_section in objdump.c can resolve this.
CVE-2017-9753 1 Gnu 1 Binutils 2025-04-20 6.8 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
The versados_mkobject function in bfd/versados.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, does not initialize a certain data structure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted binary file, as demonstrated by mishandling of this file during "objdump -D" execution.
CVE-2017-5618 1 Gnu 1 Screen 2025-04-20 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
GNU screen before 4.5.1 allows local users to modify arbitrary files and consequently gain root privileges by leveraging improper checking of logfile permissions.
CVE-2017-13089 2 Debian, Gnu 2 Debian Linux, Wget 2025-04-20 9.3 HIGH 8.8 HIGH
The http.c:skip_short_body() function is called in some circumstances, such as when processing redirects. When the response is sent chunked in wget before 1.19.2, the chunk parser uses strtol() to read each chunk's length, but doesn't check that the chunk length is a non-negative number. The code then tries to skip the chunk in pieces of 512 bytes by using the MIN() macro, but ends up passing the negative chunk length to connect.c:fd_read(). As fd_read() takes an int argument, the high 32 bits of the chunk length are discarded, leaving fd_read() with a completely attacker controlled length argument.
CVE-2017-12454 1 Gnu 1 Binutils 2025-04-20 6.8 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
The _bfd_vms_slurp_egsd function in bfd/vms-alpha.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29 and earlier, allows remote attackers to cause an arbitrary memory read via a crafted vms alpha file.
CVE-2017-8395 1 Gnu 1 Binutils 2025-04-20 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
The Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, is vulnerable to an invalid write of size 8 because of missing a malloc() return-value check to see if memory had actually been allocated in the _bfd_generic_get_section_contents function. This vulnerability causes programs that conduct an analysis of binary programs using the libbfd library, such as objcopy, to crash.
CVE-2017-17440 1 Gnu 1 Libextractor 2025-04-20 4.3 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
GNU Libextractor 1.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted GIF, IT (Impulse Tracker), NSFE, S3M (Scream Tracker 3), SID, or XM (eXtended Module) file, as demonstrated by the EXTRACTOR_xm_extract_method function in plugins/xm_extractor.c.
CVE-2017-13734 1 Gnu 1 Ncurses 2025-04-20 4.3 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
There is an illegal address access in the _nc_safe_strcat function in strings.c in ncurses 6.0 that will lead to a remote denial of service attack.
CVE-2017-17531 1 Gnu 1 Global 2025-04-20 6.8 MEDIUM 8.8 HIGH
gozilla.c in GNU GLOBAL 4.8.6 does not validate strings before launching the program specified by the BROWSER environment variable, which might allow remote attackers to conduct argument-injection attacks via a crafted URL.
CVE-2017-14729 1 Gnu 1 Binutils 2025-04-20 6.8 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
The *_get_synthetic_symtab functions in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29, do not ensure a unique PLT entry for a symbol, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file, related to elf32-i386.c and elf64-x86-64.c.
CVE-2017-16826 1 Gnu 1 Binutils 2025-04-20 6.8 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
The coff_slurp_line_table function in coffcode.h in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29.1, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory access and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted PE file.
CVE-2017-15996 1 Gnu 1 Binutils 2025-04-20 6.8 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
elfcomm.c in readelf in GNU Binutils 2.29 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (excessive memory allocation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ELF file that triggers a "buffer overflow on fuzzed archive header," related to an uninitialized variable, an improper conditional jump, and the get_archive_member_name, process_archive_index_and_symbols, and setup_archive functions.
CVE-2017-12959 1 Gnu 1 Pspp 2025-04-20 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
There is a reachable assertion abort in the function dict_add_mrset() in data/dictionary.c of the libpspp library in GNU PSPP before 1.0.1 that will lead to a remote denial of service attack.
