Ubuntu Security Notice USN-336-1 August 16, 2006
binutils vulnerability
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99464
===========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 5.04
Ubuntu 5.10
This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 5.04:
binutils 2.15-5ubuntu2.4
Ubuntu 5.10:
binutils 2.16.1-2ubuntu6.2
binutils-static 2.16.1-2ubuntu6.2
In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
Details follow:
A buffer overflow was discovered in gas (the GNU assembler). By
tricking an user or automated system (like a compile farm) into
assembling a specially crafted source file with gcc or gas, this could
be exploited to execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges.
