A flaw was found in ntfsattrfind in the ntfs.ko filesystem driver in the Linux kernel. This allows attackers to trigger a stack-based out-of-bounds write and cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted ntfs filesystem image. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely.

In the Linux kernel 4.15.0, a NULL pointer dereference was discovered in hfsextreadextent in hfs.ko. This can occur during a mount of a crafted hfs filesystem.
A flaw was found in ntfsreadlockedinode in the ntfs.ko filesystem driver in the Linux kernel. This allows attackers to trigger a use-after-free read and possibly cause a denial of service via a crafted ntfs filesystem.
A flaw was found in finishstab in stabs.c in GNU Binutils 2.30 which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) as demonstrated by an out-of-bounds write of 8 bytes.

A flaw was found in in GNU libiberty, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.30. A NULL pointer dereference (aka SEGV on unknown address 0x000000000000) was discovered in workstuffcopytofrom in cplus-dem.c.

demangletemplate in cplus-dem.c in GNU libiberty, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.30, allows attackers to trigger excessive memory consumption (aka OOM) during the "Create an array for saving the template argument values" XNEWVEC call. This can occur during execution of objdump.
