Summary
CVE-2025-69652 affecting package binutils 2.37-20
Details

GNU Binutils thru 2.46 readelf contains a vulnerability that leads to an abort (SIGABRT) when processing a crafted ELF binary with malformed DWARF abbrev or debug information. Due to incomplete state cleanup in processdebuginfo(), an invalid debuginfop state may propagate into DWARF attribute parsing routines. When certain malformed attributes result in an unexpected data length of zero, bytegetlittle_endian() triggers a fatal abort. No evidence of memory corruption or code execution was observed; the impact is limited to denial of service.
