USN-4336-1: GNU binutils vulnerabilities
22 April 2020
Several security issues were fixed in GNU binutils.
Releases
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
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
