medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 451174

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 sys-libs/binutils-libs library and its related packages to version 18244.582.47 or later.
