From ${URL} : The get_build_id function in opncls.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.28, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted file in which a certain size field is larger than a corresponding data field, as demonstrated by mishandling within the objdump program. Upstream bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21665 Upstream patch: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=cfd14a500e0485374596234de4db10e88ebc7618 https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=0630b49c470ca2e3c3f74da4c7e4ff63440dd71f https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=1f473e3d0ad285195934e6a077c7ed32afe66437 https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=ab27f80c5dceaa23c4ba7f62c0d5d22a5d5dd7a1 https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=7211ae501eb0de1044983f2dfb00091a58fbd66c https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=ea9aafc41a764e4e2dbb88a7b031e886b481b99a https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=60a02042bacf8d25814430080adda61ed086bca6 https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=bae7501e87ab614115d9d3213b4dd18d96e604db @maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
Right now binutils-2.29 is not even keyworded yet. So this needs some time.
All affected versions are masked. No further cleanup (toolchain package). Nothing to do for toolchain here anymore. Please proceed.
