Check for the version of the binutils packages Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment An updated binutils package that fixes 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. Several integer overflow bugs were found in binutils. 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 running the utility. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2005-1704 to this issue. All users of binutils should upgrade to this updated package, which contains backported patches to resolve these issues.
