    Package : binutils-mingw-w64
    CVE ID : CVE-2014-8484 CVE-2014-8485 CVE-2014-8501 CVE-2014-8502
    CVE-2014-8503 CVE-2014-8504 CVE-2014-8737 CVE-2014-8738
    Debian Bug : 775165

    In DSA 3123 the binutils package was updated for several security issues.
    This update adds rebuilt packages for binutils-mingw-w64, so these will
    take advantage of the fixes. For reference the original advisory text
    follows.

    Multiple security issues have been found in binutils, a toolbox for
    binary file manipulation. These vulnerabilities include multiple memory
    safety errors, buffer overflows, use-after-frees and other implementation errors may lead to the execution of arbitrary code, the bypass of
    security restrictions, path traversal attack or denial of service.

    For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
    version 2+deb7u1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed soon.

    We recommend that you upgrade your binutils-mingw-w64 packages.
