Name : elfutils Product : Fedora 28 Version : 0.174 Release : 5.fc28 URL : http://elfutils.org/ Summary : A collection of utilities and DSOs to handle ELF files and DWARF data Description : Elfutils is a collection of utilities, including stack (to show backtraces), nm (for listing symbols from object files), size (for listing the section sizes of an object or archive file), strip (for discarding symbols), readelf (to see the raw ELF file structures), elflint (to check for well-formed ELF files) and elfcompress (to compress or decompress ELF sections).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
Add support for ELF version, gnu property and gnu attrbutes notes. Fix eu- strip/eu-unstrip section group handling. Fixes CVE-2018-18310, CVE-2018-18520 and CVE-2018-18521. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog:

Try harder to keep same file mode bits (suid) on rewrite. - strip: Handle mixed (out of order) allocated/non-allocated sections. - unstrip: Handle SHT_GROUP sections. - backends: RISCV and M68K now have backend implementations to generate CFI based backtraces. - Fixes CVE-2018-16062, CVE-2018-16402 and CVE-2018-16403 (#1623753, #1625051, #1625056). * Tue Jul 31 2018 Florian Weimer fweimer@redhat.com - 0.173-8 - Rebuild with fixed binutils * Sun Jul 29 2018 Mark Wielaard mjw@fedoraproject.org - 0.173-7 - Add elfutils-0.173-strip-alloc-nonalloc.patch (#1609577) * Tue Jul 24 2018 Mark Wielaard mjw@fedoraproject.org - Drop libstdc++-devel BuildRequires. gcc-c++ will pull it in. * Tue Jul 24 2018 Mark Wielaard mjw@fedoraproject.org - 0.173-6 - Update elfutils-0.173-annobingroup.patch. * Sat Jul 21 2018 Mark Wielaard mjw@fedoraproject.org - 0.173-5 - Add BuildRequires gcc-c++ for demangle support. - Add elfutils-0.173-annobingroup.patch. * Sat Jul 21 2018 Mark Wielaard mjw@fedoraproject.org - 0.173-4 - Add elfutils-0.173-elfcompress.patch (#1607044) * Thu Jul 12 2018 Fedora Release Engineering releng@fedoraproject.org - 0.173-3 - Rebuilt for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_29_Mass_Rebuild * Mon Jul 9 2018 Mark Wielaard mjw@fedoraproject.org - 0.173-2 - Update elfutils-0.173-new-notes-hack.patch for new annobin note. - Unbreak cyclic systemd dependency for buildroot container (#1599083) * Fri Jun 29 2018 Mark Wielaard mjw@fedoraproject.org - 0.173-1 - New upstream release - More fixes for crashes and hangs found by afl-fuzz. In particular various functions now detect and break infinite loops caused by bad DIE tree cycles. - readelf: Will now lookup the size and signedness of constant value types to display them correctly (and not just how they were encoded). - libdw: New function dwarf_next_lines to read CU-less .debug_line data. dwarf_begin_elf now accepts ELF files containing just .debug_line or .debug_frame sections (which can be read without needing a DIE tree from the .debug_info section). Removed dwarf_getscn_info, which was never implemented. - backends: Handle BPF simple relocations. The RISCV backends now handles ABI specific CFI and knows about RISCV register types and names. * Wed Jun 20 2018 Mark Wielaard mjw@fedoraproject.org - 0.172-2 - Add elfutils-0.172-robustify.patch. * Mon Jun 11 2018 Mark Wielaard mjw@fedoraproject.org - 0.172-1 - New upstream release. - No functional changes compared to 0.171. - Various bug fixes in libdw and eu-readelf dealing with bad DWARF5 data. Thanks to running the afl fuzzer on eu-readelf and various testcases. - eu-readelf -N is ~15% faster. * Fri Jun 1 2018 Mark Wielaard mjw@fedoraproject.org - 0.171-1 - New upstream release. - DWARF5 and split dwarf, including GNU DebugFission, support. - readelf: Handle all new DWARF5 sections. --debug-dump=info+ will show split unit DIEs when found. --dwarf-skeleton can be used when inspecting a .dwo file. Recognizes GNU locviews with --debug-dump=loc. - libdw: New functions dwarf_die_addr_die, dwarf_get_units, dwarf_getabbrevattr_data and dwarf_cu_info. libdw will now try to resolve the alt file on first use when not set yet with dwarf_set_alt. dwarf_aggregate_size() now works with multi-dimensional arrays. - libdwfl: Use process_vm_readv when available instead of ptrace. - backends: Add a RISC-V backend. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References:
