Synopsis

========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Binutils, the worst of

which may allow remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service

condition.

Background

==========

The GNU Binutils are a collection of tools to create, modify and

analyse binary files. Many of the files use BFD, the Binary File

Descriptor library, to do low-level manipulation.

Affected packages

=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected

-------------------------------------------------------------------

1 sys-devel/binutils < 2.29.1-r1 >= 2.29.1-r1

Description

===========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Binutils. Please

review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.

Impact

======

A remote attacker, by enticing a user to compile/execute a specially

crafted ELF, tekhex, PE, or binary file, could possibly cause a Denial

of Service condition.

Workaround

==========

There are no known workarounds at this time.

Resolution

==========

All Binutils users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync

# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-devel/binutils-2.29.1-r1"
