Описание
A vulnerability was found in GNU Binutils 2.45. Affected is the function elf_link_add_object_symbols of the file bfd/elflink.c of the component Linker. The manipulation results in out-of-bounds read. The attack needs to be approached locally. The exploit has been made public and could be used. Upgrading to version 2.46 is able to address this issue. The patch is identified as 72efdf166aa0ed72ecc69fc2349af6591a7a19c0. Upgrading the affected component is advised.
A flaw was found in binutils. Processing a specially crafted object file with the ld linker can trigger an out-of-bounds write in the bfd_putl64 function in the bfd/libbfd.c file due to an improper check, causing a crash and resulting in a denial of service.
Отчет
This issue is classified with a low severity primarily because binutils is not typically exposed to untrusted inputs in most environments, limiting the possibility of exploitation. Additionally, this out-of-bounds write is only triggered during the parsing of a specially crafted file, requiring an attacker to convince a user to process this file with ld-new. Furthermore, binutils does not handle privileged operations, meaning that exploitation is unlikely to lead to system compromise or escalation of privileges. Also, the impact is limited to the application itself, without affecting the broader system or network security.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
