CVE-2018-19932 GNU binutils vulnerabilities
Title: GNU binutils vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in GNU binutils.
USN-4336-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in GNU binutils. This update provides
the corresponding update for Ubuntu 16.04 ESM.
Original advisory details:
It was discovered that GNU binutils contained a large number of security
issues. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a
specially-crafted file, a remote attacker could cause GNU binutils to
crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary
code.
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
