Binutils vulnerabilitiesRanked by how likely they are to be used.
Binutils is made by Gnu. We track 252 published vulnerabilities listed under that exact name, across 77 versions. None of them is on the list of flaws known to be exploited today. Gnu lists newer releases under their own names, such as Binutils Gold, so check those pages too.
We keep watching the known-exploited list.
Is Binutils listed under other names? Yes.
Gnu also lists Binutils under more specific names, such as Binutils Gold. Flaws listed only under those names are counted on their own pages, not here. If you run one of these, open its page for its own exploited flaws.
Which Binutils vulnerabilities are being exploited?
This is the list that matters most: flaws criminals are using now.
None of Binutils's published vulnerabilities is on the list of flaws known to be exploited today. We keep watching that list.
Which Binutils flaws are most likely to be used?
Ranked by the latest exploit-likelihood forecast: the chance each flaw is used in an attack in the next 30 days. A high severity score on its own doesn't tell you that. Flaws shared by many other makers' products are left out.
