Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3670-1
June 05, 2018
elfutils vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Summary:
elfutils could be made to crash or consume resources if it opened a
specially crafted file.
Software Description:
- - elfutils: collection of utilities to handle ELF objects
Details:
Agostino Sarubbo discovered that elfutils incorrectly handled certain
malformed ELF files. If a user or automated system were tricked into
processing a specially crafted ELF file, elfutils could be made to crash or
consume resources, resulting in a denial of service.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
elfutils 0.165-3ubuntu1.1
libasm1 0.165-3ubuntu1.1
libdw1 0.165-3ubuntu1.1
libelf1 0.165-3ubuntu1.1
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
elfutils 0.158-0ubuntu5.3
libasm1 0.158-0ubuntu5.3
libdw1 0.158-0ubuntu5.3
libelf1 0.158-0ubuntu5.3
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
