Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
GCC versions prior to 8.4.0

The issue arises when the collect2 process is interrupted via a signal, potentially causing the deletion of random files from the hard drive. This occurs because the signal handler may use the path name and pass it to the
unlink function before it is initialized.Recommendations
For GCC versions prior to 8.4.0, update to version 8.4.0 to resolve the issue.
