Description Aleksandr Wagner (Kivak) 2017-09-18 13:22:02 UTC 
CVE-2017-14529 (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-14529):

The pe_print_idata function in peXXigen.c in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (aka libbfd), as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.29, mishandles HintName vector entries, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted PE file, related to the bfd_getl16 function.

All affected versions are masked. No further cleanup (toolchain package). 

Nothing to do for toolchain here anymore. Please proceed.
