CVE-2025-69649

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GNU Binutils versions through 2.46

Description The software contains a flaw where a null pointer dereference can occur when processing a specially crafted ELF binary with incorrectly formatted header fields. This happens during relocation processing when an invalid or null section pointer is passed to the display relocations() function, leading to a segmentation fault and program termination. No evidence suggests memory corruption beyond the null pointer dereference or the possibility of code execution.

Recommendations Update to a newer version of GNU Binutils than 2.46. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
