A vulnerability was found in GNU Binutils up to 2.44. It has been rated as critical. Affected by this issue is the function elf_gc_sweep of the file bfd/elflink.c of the component ld. The manipulation leads to memory corruption. An attack has to be approached locally. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version 2.45 is able to address this issue. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has binutils packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in GNU Binutils up to 2.44. This affects the     function debug_type_samep of the file /binutils/debug.c of the component objdump. The manipulation leads     to memory corruption. Local access is required to approach this attack. The exploit has been disclosed to     the public and may be used. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. (CVE-2025-5245)

  - 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. The affected element is the function elf_swap_shdr in     the library bfd/elfcode.h of the component Linker. The manipulation leads to heap-based buffer overflow.
    The attack must be carried out locally. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The     identifier of the patch is 9ca499644a21ceb3f946d1c179c38a83be084490. To fix this issue, it is recommended     to deploy a patch. The code maintainer replied with [f]ixed for 2.46. (CVE-2025-11083)

An update of the binutils package has been released.

According to the versions of the binutils package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    A vulnerability has been found in GNU Binutils 2.43/2.44 and classified as problematic. Affected by this     vulnerability is the function display_info of the file binutils/bucomm.c of the component objdump. The     manipulation leads to memory leak. An attack has to be approached locally. The exploit has been disclosed     to the public and may be used. The patch is named ba6ad3a18cb26b79e0e3b84c39f707535bbc344d. It is     recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue.(CVE-2025-3198)

    A vulnerability was found in GNU Binutils up to 2.44. It has been rated as critical. Affected by this     issue is the function elf_gc_sweep of the file bfd/elflink.c of the component ld. The manipulation leads     to memory corruption. An attack has to be approached locally. The exploit has been disclosed to the public     and may be used. Upgrading to version 2.45 is able to address this issue. It is recommended to upgrade the     affected component.(CVE-2025-5244)

    A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in GNU Binutils up to 2.44. This affects the     function debug_type_samep of the file /binutils/debug.c of the component objdump. The manipulation leads     to memory corruption. Local access is required to approach this attack. The exploit has been disclosed to     the public and may be used. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue.(CVE-2025-5245)
