     (bsc#1113255)
   - CVE-2018-18606: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference in
     _bfd_add_merge_section when attempting to merge sections with large
     alignments, causing denial of service (bsc#1113252)
   - CVE-2018-18607: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference in elf_link_input_bfd
     when used for finding STT_TLS symbols without any TLS section, causing

     bfd_elf32_swap_phdr_in in elfcode.h (bsc#1118831)

     (bsc#1141913).
   - Fixed some LTO problems (bsc#1133131 bsc#1133232).
   - riscv: Don't check ABI flags if no code section

   Update to binutils 2.32:

   * The binutils now support for the C-SKY processor series.
   * The x86 assembler now supports a -mvexwig=[0|1] option to control
     encoding of VEX.W-ignored (WIG) VEX instructions. It also has a new
     -mx86-used-note=[yes|no] option to generate (or not) x86 GNU property
     notes.
   * The MIPS assembler now supports the Loongson EXTensions R2 (EXT2), the
     Loongson EXTensions (EXT) instructions, the Loongson Content Address
     Memory (CAM) ASE and the Loongson MultiMedia extensions Instructions
     (MMI) ASE.
   * The addr2line, c++filt, nm and objdump tools now have a default limit on
     the maximum amount of recursion that is allowed whilst demangling
     strings.  This limit can be disabled if necessary.
   * Objdump's --disassemble option can now take a parameter, specifying the
     starting symbol for disassembly.  Disassembly will continue from this
     symbol up to the next symbol or the end of the function.
   * The BFD linker will now report property change in linker map file when
     merging GNU properties.
   * The BFD linker's -t option now doesn't report members within archives,
     unless -t is given twice.  This makes it more useful when generating a
     list of files that should be packaged for a linker bug report.
   * The GOLD linker has improved warning messages for relocations that refer
     to discarded sections.

   - Improve relro support on s390 [fate#326356]
   - Handle ELF compressed header alignment correctly.
