+ <background>
+ <p>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.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Binutils. Please review
+ the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>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.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All Binutils users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-devel/binutils-2.25"
+ </code>
