USN-4336-1: GNU binutils vulnerabilities

Releases

• Ubuntu 18.04 ESM

Packages

• binutils - GNU assembler, linker and binary utilities

Details

It was discovered that GNU binutils contained a large number of security
issues. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a
specially-crafted file, a remote attacker could cause GNU binutils to
crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary
code.

Update instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 18.04

• binutils - 2.30-21ubuntu1~18.04.3
• binutils-multiarch - 2.30-21ubuntu1~18.04.3

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
