Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-1191 advisory.

    A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in GNU Binutils 2.45. Affected by     this issue is the function bfd_elf_set_group_contents of the file bfd/elf.c. The manipulation leads to     out-of-bounds write. It is possible to launch the attack on the local host. The exploit has been disclosed     to the public and may be used. The name of the patch is 41461010eb7c79fee7a9d5f6209accdaac66cc6b. It is     recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. (CVE-2025-7546)

The version of golang installed on the remote host is prior to 1.24.6-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2025-2984 advisory.

    os/exec: LookPath may return unexpected paths. If the PATH environment variable contains paths which are     executables (rather than just directories), passing certain strings to LookPath (, ., and ..), can     result in the binaries listed in the PATH being unexpectedly returned. (CVE-2025-47906)

    Cancelling a query (e.g. by cancelling the context passed to one of the query methods) during a call to     the Scan method of the returned Rows can result in unexpected results if other queries are being made in     parallel. This can result in a race condition that may overwrite the expected results with those of     another query, causing the call to Scan to return either unexpected results from the other query or an     error. (CVE-2025-47907)

    A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in GNU Binutils 2.45. Affected by this vulnerability     is the function copy_section of the file binutils/objcopy.c.

    CVE-2025-0840:
    A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in GNU Binutils up to 2.43. This affects     the function disassemble_bytes of the file binutils/objdump.c. The manipulation of the argument buf leads     to stack-based buffer overflow. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The complexity of an     attack is rather high. The exploitability is told to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the     public and may be used. Upgrading to version 2.44 is able to address this issue. The identifier of the     patch is baac6c221e9d69335bf41366a1c7d87d8ab2f893. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.
