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.
