medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 457691

Description

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

 - A flaw was found in the GNU Binutils (Binary Utilities) linker. This vulnerability, a heap-buffer-overflow
 read (CWE-125), occurs when the linker processes a specially crafted 32-bit XCOFF (Extended Common Object
 File Format) object file. An attacker could exploit this by providing a malicious file, leading to an out-
 of-bounds read of memory. This can result in information disclosure, potentially revealing sensitive heap
 data, and a Denial of Service (DoS) due to the linker crashing. (CVE-2026-15003)

Solution

Update the binutils library and its related packages to version 2.45.90.20260201+really2.45.50.20251201-1+e9 or later.
