Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2005:659. Several integer overflow bugs were found in binutils. If a user is tricked into processing a specially crafted executable with utilities such as readelf, size, strings, objdump, or nm, it may allow the execution of arbitrary code as the user running the utility. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2005-1704 to this issue. Additionally, the following bugs have been fixed: - -- correct alignment of .tbss section if the requested alignment of .tbss is bigger than requested alignment of .tdata section - -- by default issue an error if IA-64 hint@pause instruction is put into the B slot, add assembler command line switch to override this behaviour All users of binutils should upgrade to this updated package, which contains backported patches to resolve these issues. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-659.html Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 4.6
