NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream binutils package and not the binutils package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

A weakness has been identified in GNU Binutils 2.47. This impacts the function elf_link_add_object_symbols of the file bfd/elflink.c. Executing a manipulation can lead to null pointer dereference. The attack needs to be launched locally. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The project was informed of the problem early through a bug report but has not responded yet.
