Ubuntu Security Notice USN-136-2 May 27, 2005
binutils regression
https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/11249
===========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog)
The following packages are affected:
binutils
binutils-multiarch
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 2.14.90.0.7-8ubuntu0.3 (for Ubuntu 4.10), or 2.15-5ubuntu2.2
(for Ubuntu 5.04). In general, a standard system upgrade is
sufficient to effect the necessary changes.
Details follow:
It was discovered that the packages from USN-136-1 had a flawed patch
with regressions that caused the ld linker to fail. The updated
packages fix this.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
