Title: Binutils: Multiple vulnerabilities
Date: December 08, 2016
Bugs: #526626
ID: 201612-24
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities were found in Binutils, the worst of which may
allow execution of arbitrary code.
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 < 2.25 >= 2.25
Description
===========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Binutils. Please
review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted file,
possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges
of the process, cause a Denial of Service condition, or overwrite
arbitrary files.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Binutils users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=sys-devel/binutils-2.25”
