- An issue was discovered in Binutils before 2.46. The objdump contains a denial-of-service vulnerability
when processing a crafted binary with malformed debug information. A logic flaw in the handling of DWARF
location list headers can cause objdump to enter an unbounded loop and produce endless output until
manually interrupted. This issue affects versions prior to the upstream fix and allows a local attacker to
cause excessive resource consumption by supplying a malicious input file. (CVE-2025-69644)
