No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/ALBA-2021-3575/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/ALBA-2021-3575/index.md)","id":"ALBA-2021:3575","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/ALBA-2021-3575/index.md","name":"ALBA-2021:3575","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"unknown","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Binutils linker","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A performance regression in the Binutils linker caused significant slowdowns when processing files without secondary relocs, impacting build times.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"Binutils is a collection of binary utilities, including ar (for creating, modifying, and extracting from archives), as (a family of GNU assemblers), gprof (for displaying call graph profile data), ld (the GNU linker), nm (for listing symbols from object files), objcopy (for copying and translating object files), objdump (for displaying information from object files), ranlib (for generating an index for the contents of an archive), readelf (for displaying detailed information about binary files), size (for listing the section sizes of an object or archive file), strings (for listing printable strings from files), strip (for discarding symbols), and addr2line (for converting addresses to file and line). The gcc-toolset-10-binutils packages provide the GCC Toolset 10 version of binutils.\n\nBug fix:\n\n* Earlier, the Binutils linker provided by GCC Toolset 10 started to support a new kernel feature called \"secondary relocs\". However, the performance of the linker significantly decreased. With this update, the linker can bypass the secondary reloc support code if input files do not use this code. As a result, the Binutils linker performs normally when input files do not use\nsecondary relocs.
