Comment 2 Siddhesh Poyarekar 2022-08-30 17:34:30 UTC 
Given that this is not a bug in any of the libraries in binutils, I can't see why this is considered a security issue.  Can this CVE assignment please be disputed?  Thanks.
Comment 3 Siddhesh Poyarekar 2022-09-06 17:59:13 UTC 
Not a security issue, trackers will be treated as regular bugs.
