medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 455406

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - GNU Binutils thru 2.45.1 readelf contains a denial-of-service vulnerability when processing a crafted
 binary with malformed DWARF loclists data. A logic flaw in the DWARF parsing code can cause readelf to
 repeatedly print the same table output without making forward progress, resulting in an unbounded output
 loop that never terminates unless externally interrupted. A local attacker can trigger this behavior by
 supplying a malicious input file, causing excessive CPU and I/O usage and preventing readelf from
 completing its analysis. (CVE-2025-69647)

Solution

Update the binutils library and its related packages to version 2.45.90.20260201+really2.45.50.20251201-1+e7 or later.
