Описание
A flaw was found in the readelf utility of the binutils package. A local attacker could exploit two Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerabilities by providing a specially crafted Executable and Linkable Format (ELF) file. One vulnerability, a resource exhaustion (CWE-400), can lead to an out-of-memory condition. The other, a null pointer dereference (CWE-476), can cause a segmentation fault. Both issues can result in the readelf utility becoming unresponsive or crashing, leading to a denial of service.
Отчет
Moderate: A denial of service vulnerability in readelf can be triggered by processing a crafted ELF file, leading to resource exhaustion or a null pointer dereference. This issue affects Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, 8, 9, and 10, as well as other Red Hat products that include the binutils package. Exploitation requires a local attacker to entice a user to execute readelf on a malicious file.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this vulnerability, users should avoid using the readelf utility on untrusted or suspicious ELF files. Processing a specially crafted ELF file with readelf can lead to a denial of service.
