Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-2079-09 - The binutils packages provide a set of binary utilities. Multiple buffer overflow flaws were found in the libbdf library used by various binutils utilities. If a user were tricked into processing a specially crafted file with an application using the libbdf library, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code. An integer overflow flaw was found in the libbdf library used by various binutils utilities. If a user were tricked into processing a specially crafted file with an application using the libbdf library, it could cause the application to crash.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-029 - Multiple integer overflows in the _objalloc_alloc function in objalloc.c and objalloc_alloc macro in include/objalloc.h in GNU libiberty, as used by binutils 2.22, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via vectors related to the addition of CHUNK_HEADER_SIZE to the length, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. Various other issues have also been addressed. The updated packages provide a solution for these security issues.

Ubuntu Security Notice 2496-1 - Michal Zalewski discovered that the setup_group function in libbfd in GNU binutils did not properly check group headers in ELF files. An attacker could use this to craft input that could cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. Hanno Boeck discovered that the _bfd_XXi_swap_aouthdr_in function in libbfd in GNU binutils allowed out-of-bounds writes. An attacker could use this to craft input that could cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-029 - Multiple vulnerabilities have been found and corrected in binutils. Multiple integer overflows in the _objalloc_alloc function in objalloc.c and objalloc_alloc macro in include/objalloc.h in GNU libiberty, as used by binutils 2.22, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via vectors related to the addition of CHUNK_HEADER_SIZE to the length, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. The srec_scan function in bfd/srec.c in libdbfd in GNU binutils before 2.25 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a small S-record. Various other issues have also been addressed. The updated packages provide a solution for these security issues.
