Some minor security issues have been identified and fixed in binutils in Debian LTS. These are :

CVE-2016-2226

Exploitable buffer overflow.

CVE-2016-4487

Invalid write due to a use-after-free to array btypevec.

CVE-2016-4488

Invalid write due to a use-after-free to array ktypevec.

CVE-2016-4489

Invalid write due to integer overflow.

CVE-2016-4490

Write access violation.

CVE-2016-4492

Write access violations.

CVE-2016-4493

Read access violations.

CVE-2016-6131

Stack buffer overflow when printing bad bytes in Intel Hex objects

For Debian 7 ‘Wheezy’, these problems have been fixed in version 2.22-8+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your binutils packages.
