Synopsis |
| 17 |
======== |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Binutils, the worst of |
| 20 |
which may allow remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service |
| 21 |
condition. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Background |
| 24 |
========== |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The GNU Binutils are a collection of tools to create, modify and |
| 27 |
analyse binary files. Many of the files use BFD, the Binary File |
| 28 |
Descriptor library, to do low-level manipulation. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Affected packages |
| 31 |
================= |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 34 |
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |
| 35 |
------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 36 |
1 sys-devel/binutils < 2.28.1 >= 2.28.1 |

Description |
| 39 |
=========== |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Binutils. Please |
| 42 |
review References for additional information. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Impact |
| 45 |
====== |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
A remote attacker, by enticing a user to compile/execute a specially |
| 48 |
crafted ELF file, PE File, or binary file, could possibly cause a |
| 49 |
Denial of Service condition. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Workaround |
| 52 |
========== |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Resolution |
| 57 |
========== |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
All Binutils users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
# emerge --sync |
| 62 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-devel/binutils-2.28.1" |
| 63 |
