An update of the elfutils package has been released.

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7369-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that readelf from elfutils could be made to read out of bounds. If a user or automated     system were tricked into running readelf on a specially crafted file, an attacker could cause readelf to     crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-25260)

    It was discovered that readelf from elfutils could be made to write out of bounds. If a user or automated     system were tricked into running readelf on a specially crafted file, an attacker could cause readelf to     crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected     Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.10. (CVE-2025-1365)

    It was discovered that readelf from elfutils could be made to dereference invalid memory. If a user or     automated system were tricked into running readelf on a specially crafted file, an attacker could cause     readelf to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu     24.10. (CVE-2025-1371)
