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 < 2.30-r2 >= 2.30-r2 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, object, PE, or binary file, could possibly cause a Denial of Service condition or have other unspecified impacts. 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-2.30-r2" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2017-14933 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-14933 [ 2 ] CVE-2017-16826 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-16826 [ 3 ] CVE-2017-16827 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-16827 [ 4 ] CVE-2017-16828 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-16828 [ 5 ] CVE-2017-16829 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-16829 [ 6 ] CVE-2017-16830 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-16830 [ 7 ] CVE-2017-16831 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-16831 [ 8 ] CVE-2017-16832 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-16832 [ 9 ] CVE-2017-17080 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-17080 [ 10 ] CVE-2017-17121 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-17121 [ 11 ] CVE-2017-17122 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-17122 [ 12 ] CVE-2017-17123 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-17123 [ 13 ] CVE-2017-17124 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-17124 [ 14 ] CVE-2017-17125 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-17125 [ 15 ] CVE-2017-17126 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-17126 [ 16 ] CVE-2018-6543 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-6543 [ 17 ] CVE-2018-6759 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-6759 [ 18 ] CVE-2018-6872 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-6872 [ 19 ] CVE-2018-7208 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-7208 [ 20 ] CVE-2018-7568 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-7568 [ 21 ] CVE-2018-7569 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-7569 [ 22 ] CVE-2018-7570 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-7570 [ 23 ] CVE-2018-7642 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-7642 [ 24 ] CVE-2018-7643 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-7643 [ 25 ] CVE-2018-8945 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-8945 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/201811-17 Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users' machines is of utmost importance to us.
