1. Summary:
An update for binutils is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:

3. Description:
The binutils packages provide a collection of binary utilities for the
manipulation of object code in various object file formats. It includes the
ar, as, gprof, ld, nm, objcopy, objdump, ranlib, readelf, size, strings,
strip, and addr2line utilities.
Security Fix(es):
* binutils: Excessive debug section size can cause excessive memory
consumption in bfd's dwarf2.c read_section() (CVE-2021-3487)
* binutils: Race window allows users to own arbitrary files
(CVE-2021-20197)
* binutils: Heap-based buffer overflow in bfd_getl_signed_32() in libbfd.c
because sh_entsize is not validated in
_bfd_elf_slurp_secondary_reloc_section() in elf.c (CVE-2020-35448)
* binutils: Heap-based buffer overflow in
_bfd_elf_slurp_secondary_reloc_section in elf.c (CVE-2021-20284)
