RHSA-2005-673: binutils

Vulnerability Assessment Summary Check for the version of the binutils packages Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment An updated binutils package that fixes several bugs and minor security issues is now available. This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. Binutils is a collection of utilities used for the creation of executable code. A number of bugs were found in various binutils tools. If a user is tricked into processing a specially crafted executable with utilities such as readelf, size, strings, objdump, or nm, it may permit the execution of arbitrary code as the user. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2005-1704 to this issue. In addition, the following bugs have been fixed: -- by default issue an error if IA-64 hint@pause instruction is put into the B slot, add assembler command line switch to override this behaviour -- fix linker's --emit-relocs with .gnu.warning.* section symbols -- fix gprof on 64-bit ppc binaries and libraries -- fix gas mapping of register names to dwarf2 register numbers in CFI directives All users of binutils should upgrade to this updated package, which contains patches to resolve these issues.
