An update that solves 12 vulnerabilities and has one security fix can now be installed.

Description:

nasm was updated to version 2.14.02:

  • Fix crash due to multiple errors or warnings during the code generation pass if a list file is specified.
  • Create all system-defined macros defore processing command-line given preprocessing directives (-p, -d, -u, --pragma, --before).
  • If debugging is enabled, define a DEBUG_FORMAT predefined macro. See section 4.11.7.
  • Fix an assert for the case in the obj format when a SEG operator refers to an EXTERN symbol declared further down in the code.
  • Fix a corner case in the floating-point code where a binary, octal or hexadecimal floating-point having at least 32, 11, or 8 mantissa digits could produce slightly incorrect results under very specific conditions.
  • Support -MD without a filename, for gcc compatibility. -MF can be used to set the dependencies output filename. See section 2.1.7.
  • Fix -E in combination with -MD. See section 2.1.21.
  • Fix missing errors on redefined labels; would cause convergence failure instead which is very slow and not easy to debug.
  • Duplicate definitions of the same label with the same value is now explicitly permitted (2.14 would allow it in some circumstances.)
  • Add the option --no-line to ignore %line directives in the source. See section 2.1.33 and section 4.10.1.
  • Changed -I option semantics by adding a trailing path separator unconditionally.
  • Fixed null dereference in corrupted invalid single line macros.
  • Fixed division by zero which may happen if source code is malformed.
  • Fixed out of bound access in processing of malformed segment override.
  • Fixed out of bound access in certain EQU parsing.
  • Fixed buffer underflow in float parsing.
  • Added SGX (Intel Software Guard Extensions) instructions.
  • Added +n syntax for multiple contiguous registers.
  • Fixed subsections_via_symbols for macho object format.
  • Added the --gprefix, --gpostfix, --lprefix, and --lpostfix command line options, to allow command line base symbol renaming. See section 2.1.28.
  • Allow label renaming to be specified by %pragma in addition to from the command line. See section 6.9.
  • Supported generic %pragma namespaces, output and debug. See section 6.10.
  • Added the --pragma command line option to inject a %pragma directive. See section 2.1.29.
  • Added the --before command line option to accept preprocess statement before input. See section 2.1.30.
  • Added AVX512 VBMI2 (Additional Bit Manipulation), VNNI (Vector Neural Network), BITALG (Bit Algorithm), and GFNI (Galois Field New Instruction) instructions.
  • Added the STATIC directive for local symbols that should be renamed using global-symbol rules. See section 6.8.
  • Allow a symbol to be defined as EXTERN and then later overridden as GLOBAL or COMMON. Furthermore, a symbol declared EXTERN and then defined will be treated as GLOBAL. See section 6.5.
  • The GLOBAL directive no longer is required to precede the definition of the symbol.
  • Support private_extern as macho specific extension to the GLOBAL directive. See section 7.8.5.
  • Updated UD0 encoding to match with the specification
  • Added the --limit-X command line option to set execution limits. See section 2.1.31.
  • Updated the Codeview version number to be aligned with MASM.
  • Added the --keep-all command line option to preserve output files. See section 2.1.32.
  • Added the --include command line option, an alias to -P (section 2.1.18).
  • Added the --help command line option as an alias to -h (section 3.1).
  • Added -W, -D, and -Q suffix aliases for RET instructions so the operand sizes of these instructions can be encoded without using o16, o32 or o64.

New upstream version 2.13.03:

  • Add flags: AES, VAES, VPCLMULQDQ
  • Add VPCLMULQDQ instruction
  • elf: Add missing dwarf loc section
  • documentation updates

  • Fix a case where negative value in TIMES directive causes panic instead of an error.
  • Fix the incorrect generation of VEX-encoded instruction when static mode decorators are specified on scalar instructions, losing the decorators as they require EVEX encoding.
  • Fix generation of dependency lists.
  • Fixes macro calls that have the wrong number of arguments (bsc#1073796, CVE-2017-17810)
  • Fixes Heap-based buffer overflow allows related to a strcpy in paste_tokens (bsc#1073798, CVE-2017-17811)
  • Fixes Heap-based buffer over-read in the function detoken() (bsc#1073799, CVE-2017-17812)
  • Fixes Use-after-free in the pp_list_one_macro function (bsc#1073803, CVE-2017-17813)
  • Fixes Use-after-free in do_directive (bsc#1073808, CVE-2017-17814)
  • Fixes Illegal address access in is_mmacro() (bsc#1073818, CVE-2017-17815)
  • Fixes Use-after-free in pp_getline (bsc#1073823, CVE-2017-17816)
  • Fixes Use-after-free in pp_verror (bsc#1073829, CVE-2017-17817)
  • Fixes Heap-based buffer over-read related to a while loop in paste_tokens (bsc#1073830, CVE-2017-17818)
  • Fixes Illegal address access in the function find_cc (bsc#1073832, CVE-2017-17819)
  • Fixes Use-after-free in pp_list_one_macro (bsc#1073846, CVE-2017-17820)
  • Fixes illegal address access in thefunction paste_tokens() (bsc#1058013, CVE-2017-14228)

nasm was updated to version 2.13.01:

  • Fix incorrect output for some types of FAR or SEG references in the obj output format, and possibly other 16-bit output formats.
  • Fix the address in the list file for an instruction containing a TIMES directive.
  • Fix error with TIMES used together with an instruction which can vary in size, e.g. JMP.
  • Fix breakage on some uses of the DZ pseudo-op.

nasm was updated to version 2.13.00:

  • Support the official forms of the UD0 and UD1 instructions.
  • Allow self-segment-relative expressions in immediates and displacements
  • Handle a 64-bit origin in NDISASM.
  • NASM can now generate sparse output files for relevant output formats, if the underlying operating system supports them.
  • Fix a number of bugs related to AVX-512 decorators.
  • Fix the {z} decorator on AVX-512 VMOVDQ* instructions.
  • Add new warnings for certain dangerous constructs which never ought to have been allowed.
  • Fix the EVEX (AVX-512) versions of the VPBROADCAST, VPEXTR, and VPINSR instructions.
  • Support contracted forms of additional instructions.
  • Fix Codeview malformed compiler version record.
  • Add the CLWB and PCOMMIT instructions.
  • Add the %pragma preprocessor directive for soft-error directives.
  • Add the RDPID instruction.

nasm was updated to version 2.12.02:

  • Fix preprocessor errors, especially %error and %warning, inside if statements.
  • Fix relative relocations in 32-bit Mach-O.
  • More Codeview debug format fixes.
  • If the MASM PTR keyword is encountered, issue a warning. This is much more likely to indicate a MASM-ism encountered in NASM than it is a valid label.
  • This warning can be suppressed with -w-ptr, the [warning] directive (see section 2.1.24) or by the macro definition %idefine ptr %??.
  • When an error or a warning comes from the expansion of a multi-line macro, display the file and line numbers for the expanded macros.
  • Macros defined with .nolist do not get displayed.
  • Add macros ilog2fw() and ilog2cw() to the ifunc macro package. See section 5.4.1.

nasm was updated to version 2.12.01:

  • Portability fixes for some platforms.
  • Fix error when not specifying a list file.
  • Correct the handling of macro-local labels in the Codeview debugging format.
  • Add CLZERO, MONITORX and MWAITX instructions.

nasm was updated to version 2.12:

  • Major fixes to the macho backend (section 7.8); earlier versions would produce invalid symbols and relocations on a regular basis.
  • Support for thread-local storage in Mach-O.
  • Support for arbitrary sections in Mach-O.
  • Fix wrong negative size treated as a big positive value passed into backend causing NASM to crash.
  • Fix handling of zero-extending unsigned relocations, we have been printing wrong message and forgot to assign segment with predefined value before passing it into output format.
  • Fix potential write of oversized (with size greater than allowed in output format) relative relocations.
  • Portability fixes for building NASM with LLVM compiler.
  • Add support of Codeview version 8 (cv8) debug format for win32 and win64 formats in the COFF backend, see section 7.5.3.
  • Allow 64-bit outputs in 16/32-bit only backends. Unsigned 64-bit relocations are zero-extended from 32-bits with a warning (suppressible via -w-zext-reloc); signed 64-bit relocations are an arror.
  • Line numbers in list files now correspond to the lines in the source files, instead of simply being sequential.

nasm was updated to version 2.11.09:

  • Fix potential stack overwrite in macho32 backend.
  • Fix relocation records in macho64 backend.
  • Fix symbol lookup computation in macho64 backend.
  • Adjust .symtab and .rela.text sections alignments to 8 bytes in elf64 backed.
  • Fix section length computation in bin backend which leaded in incorrect relocation records.

nasm was updated to version 2.11.08:

  • Fix section length computation in bin backend which leaded in incorrect relocation records.
  • Add a warning for numeric preprocessor definitions passed via command line which might have unexpected results otherwise.
  • Add ability to specify a module name record in rdoff linker
