Background |
| 23 |
========== |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The GNU Binutils are a collection of tools to create, modify and |
| 26 |
analyse binary files. Many of the files use BFD, the Binary File |
| 27 |
Descriptor library, to do low-level manipulation. |
| 28 |

| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Impact |
| 44 |
====== |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
A remote attacker, by enticing a user to compile/execute a specially |
| 47 |
crafted ELF, object, PE, or binary file, could possibly cause a Denial |
| 48 |
of Service condition or have other unspecified impacts. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Workaround |
| 51 |
========== |
| 52 |

There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Resolution |

| 58 |
All Binutils users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
# emerge --sync |
| 61 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-devel/binutils-2.30-r2" |
