    <p>The GNU Binutils are a collection of tools to create, modify and analyse
      binary files. Many of the files use BFD, the Binary File Descriptor
      library, to do low-level manipulation.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Binutils. Please review
      the referenced CVE identifiers for details.
    </p>

  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker, by enticing a user to compile/execute a specially
      crafted ELF, object, PE, or binary file, could possibly cause a Denial of
      Service condition or have other unspecified impacts.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All Binutils users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-devel/binutils-2.30-r2"
