There is no fixed version for Centos:6 binutils-devel.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream binutils-devel package and not the binutils-devel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The find_nearest_line function in addr2line in GNU Binutils 2.28 does not handle the case where the main file name and the directory name are both empty, triggering a NULL pointer dereference and an invalid write, and leading to a program crash.
