A vulnerability was found in GNU Binutils 2.45. Impacted is the function _bfd_x86_elf_late_size_sections of the file bfd/elfxx-x86.c of the component Linker. The manipulation results in out-of-bounds read. The attack needs to be approached locally. The exploit has been made public and could be used. The patch is identified as b6ac5a8a5b82f0ae6a4642c8d7149b325f4cc60a. A patch should be applied to remediate this issue.

According to the versions of the gdb packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    An issue was discovered in GNU libiberty, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.36. It is a stack-overflow     issue in demangle_type in rust-demangle.c.(CVE-2021-32256)

    A flaw has been found in GNU Binutils 2.45. Impacted is the function _bfd_elf_parse_eh_frame of the file     bfd/elf-eh-frame.c of the component Linker. Executing manipulation can lead to heap-based buffer overflow.
    The attack is restricted to local execution. The exploit has been published and may be used. This patch is     called ea1a0737c7692737a644af0486b71e4a392cbca8. A patch should be applied to remediate this issue. The     code maintainer replied with '[f]ixed for 2.46'.(CVE-2025-11082)

    A vulnerability has been found in GNU Binutils 2.45. This impacts the function bfd_elf_gc_record_vtentry     of the file bfd/elflink.c of the component Linker. The manipulation leads to out-of-bounds read. Local     access is required to approach this attack. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
    The identifier of the patch is 047435dd988a3975d40c6626a8f739a0b2e154bc. To fix this issue, it is     recommended to deploy a patch.(CVE-2025-11412)

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2025:0852 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2025-11840:
    A weakness has been identified in GNU Binutils 2.45. The affected element is the function vfinfo of the     file ldmisc.c. Executing manipulation can lead to out-of-bounds read. The attack can only be executed     locally. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be exploited. This patch is called     16357. It is best practice to apply a patch to resolve this issue.

    CVE-2025-11494:
    A vulnerability was found in GNU Binutils 2.45. Impacted is the function _bfd_x86_elf_late_size_sections     of the file bfd/elfxx-x86.c of the component Linker. The manipulation results in out-of-bounds read. The     attack needs to be approached locally. The exploit has been made public and could be used. The patch is     identified as b6ac5a8a5b82f0ae6a4642c8d7149b325f4cc60a. A patch should be applied to remediate this issue.

    CVE-2025-11414:
    A vulnerability was determined in GNU Binutils 2.45. Affected by this vulnerability is the function     get_link_hash_entry of the file bfd/elflink.c of the component Linker. This manipulation causes out-of-     bounds read. The attack can only be executed locally. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be     utilized. Upgrading to version 2.46 addresses this issue. Patch name:
    aeaaa9af6359c8e394ce9cf24911fec4f4d23703. It is advisable to upgrade the affected component.

    CVE-2025-11413:
    A vulnerability was found in GNU Binutils 2.45. Affected is the function elf_link_add_object_symbols of     the file bfd/elflink.c of the component Linker. The manipulation results in out-of-bounds read. The attack     needs to be approached locally. The exploit has been made public and could be used. Upgrading to version     2.46 is able to address this issue. The patch is identified as 72efdf166aa0ed72ecc69fc2349af6591a7a19c0.
    Upgrading the affected component is advised.

    CVE-2025-11412:
    A vulnerability has been found in GNU Binutils 2.45. This impacts the function bfd_elf_gc_record_vtentry     of the file bfd/elflink.c of the component Linker. The manipulation leads to out-of-bounds read. Local     access is required to approach this attack. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
    The identifier of the patch is 047435dd988a3975d40c6626a8f739a0b2e154bc. To fix this issue, it is     recommended to deploy a patch.
