Topic

Updated binutils packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

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.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, incorrect dynamic relocations were calculated by the linker when linking position-independent executable files for the 32-bit AMD and Intel architecture. As a consequence, the resulting executable files could not be executed. With this update, the linker code has been corrected, and no longer produces faulty position-independent executable files for the 32-bit AMD and Intel architecture. (BZ#1433075)

Users of binutils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
