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.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Binutils. Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.

A remote attacker, by enticing a user to compile/execute a specially crafted ELF, tekhex, PE, or binary file, could possibly cause a Denial of Service condition.

There are no known workarounds at this time.

All Binutils users should upgrade to the latest version:
