+  <title>Binutils, elfutils: Buffer overflow</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    Various utilities from the GNU Binutils and elfutils packages are
+    vulnerable to a heap based buffer overflow, potentially resulting in the
+    execution of arbitrary code.

+    <p>
+    The GNU Binutils are a collection of tools to create, modify and
+    analyse binary files. Many of the files use BFD, the Binary File
+    Descriptor library, to do low-level manipulation. Elfutils provides a
+    library and utilities to access, modify and analyse ELF objects.
+    </p>

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Tavis Ormandy and Ned Ludd of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team
+    discovered an integer overflow in the BFD library and elfutils,
+    resulting in a heap based buffer overflow.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    Successful exploitation would require a user to access a specially
+    crafted binary file, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All GNU Binutils users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose sys-devel/binutils</code>
+    <p>
+    All elfutils users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-libs/elfutils-0.108&quot;</code>
