Package: binutils Version: 2.16-0 Severity: normal gentoo submitted a security advisory for binutils and elfutils: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/13830/info http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-200506-01.xml
details and examples that crash binutils tools : nm, objdump, strings (i have been unable to reproduce with the supposed other affexted tools cited): http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91398 nm ./a.out Segmentation Fault (...) most patches are in this report: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91817 The latest binutils patch was also about bfd though it looks like it did not fixed this issue or not all of the failures. If i am wrong and this is already fixed please close the report (i saw the issue was discussed on the binutils ML, redhat, suse and gentoo so probabilites are high this was the previous patch applied to debian binutils ... though i cannot tell and it looks like securityfocus cannot either).
