 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDKSA-2006:153
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Package : binutils
 Date    : August 28, 2006
 Affected: 2006.0, Corporate 3.0
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 A stack-based buffer overflow in messages.c in the GNU as (gas)
 assembler in Free Software Foundation GNU Binutils before 20050721 
 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .c file with crafted
 inline assembly code (CVE-2005-4807).
 
 Buffer overflow in getsym in tekhex.c in libbfd in Free Software
 Foundation GNU Binutils before 20060423, as used by GNU strings, allows
 context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application
 crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a file with a crafted
 Tektronix Hex Format (TekHex?) record in which the length character is
 not a valid hexadecimal character (CVE-2006-2362).
 
 The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
