Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-029-1

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2015-029 – Multiple integer overflows in the _objalloc_alloc function in objalloc.c and objalloc_alloc macro in include/objalloc.h in GNU libiberty, as used by binutils 2.22, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via vectors related to the addition of CHUNK_HEADER_SIZE to the length, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. Various other issues have also been addressed. The updated packages provide a solution for these security issues.
