Title:Security update for binutils (Moderate)
Description:

This update for binutils fixes the following issues:

binutils was updated to current 2.32 branch @7b468db3 [jsc#ECO-368]:

Includes the following security fixes:

- CVE-2018-17358: Fixed invalid memory access in _bfd_stab_section_find_nearest_line in syms.c (bsc#1109412) - CVE-2018-17359: Fixed invalid memory access exists in bfd_zalloc in opncls.c (bsc#1109413) - CVE-2018-17360: Fixed heap-based buffer over-read in bfd_getl32 in libbfd.c (bsc#1109414) - CVE-2018-17985: Fixed a stack consumption problem caused by the cplus_demangle_type (bsc#1116827) - CVE-2018-18309: Fixed an invalid memory address dereference was discovered in read_reloc in reloc.c (bsc#1111996) - CVE-2018-18483: Fixed get_count function provided by libiberty that allowed attackers to cause a denial of service or other unspecified impact (bsc#1112535) - CVE-2018-18484: Fixed stack exhaustion in the C++ demangling functions provided by libiberty, caused by recursive stack frames (bsc#1112534) - CVE-2018-18605: Fixed a heap-based buffer over-read issue was discovered in the function sec_merge_hash_lookup causing a denial of service (bsc#1113255) - CVE-2018-18606: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference in _bfd_add_merge_section when attempting to merge sections with large alignments, causing denial of service (bsc#1113252) - CVE-2018-18607: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference in elf_link_input_bfd when used for finding STT_TLS symbols without any TLS section, causing denial of service (bsc#1113247) - CVE-2018-19931: Fixed a heap-based buffer overflow in bfd_elf32_swap_phdr_in in elfcode.h (bsc#1118831) - CVE-2018-19932: Fixed an integer overflow and infinite loop caused by the IS_CONTAINED_BY_LMA (bsc#1118830) - CVE-2018-20623: Fixed a use-after-free in the error function in elfcomm.c (bsc#1121035) - CVE-2018-20651: Fixed a denial of service via a NULL pointer dereference in elf_link_add_object_symbols in elflink.c (bsc#1121034) - CVE-2018-20671: Fixed an integer overflow that can trigger a heap-based buffer overflow in load_specific_debug_section in objdump.c (bsc#1121056) - CVE-2018-1000876: Fixed integer overflow in bfd_get_dynamic_reloc_upper_bound,bfd_canonicalize_dynamic_reloc in objdump (bsc#1120640) - CVE-2019-1010180: Fixed an out of bound memory access that could lead to crashes (bsc#1142772)

- Enable xtensa architecture (Tensilica lc6 and related) - Use -ffat-lto-objects in order to provide assembly for static libs (bsc#1141913). - Fixed some LTO problems (bsc#1133131 bsc#1133232). - riscv: Don't check ABI flags if no code section

Update to binutils 2.32:

The binutils now support for the C-SKY processor series. * The x86 assembler now supports a -mvexwig=[0|1] option to control encoding of VEX.W-ignored (WIG) VEX instructions. It also has a new -mx86-used-note=[yes|no] option to generate (or not) x86 GNU property notes. * The MIPS assembler now supports the Loongson EXTensions R2 (EXT2), the Loongson EXTensions (EXT) instructions, the Loongson Content Address Memory (CAM) ASE and the Loongson MultiMedia extensions Instructions (MMI) ASE. * The addr2line, c++filt, nm and objdump tools now have a default limit on the maximum amount of recursion that is allowed whilst demangling strings. This limit can be disabled if necessary. * Objdump's --disassemble option can now take a parameter, specifying the starting symbol for disassembly. Disassembly will continue from this symbol up to the next symbol or the end of the function. * The BFD linker will now report property change in linker map file when merging GNU properties. * The BFD linker's -t option now doesn't report members within archives, unless -t is given twice. This makes it more useful when generating a list of files that should be packaged for a linker bug report. * The GOLD linker has improved warning messages for relocations that refer to discarded sections.

- Improve relro support on s390 [fate#326356] - Handle ELF compressed header alignment correctly.
