How to fix?

Upgrade Minimos:latest binutils-dev to version 2.46-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

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

An issue was discovered in Binutils before 2.46. The objdump contains a denial-of-service vulnerability when processing a crafted binary with malformed debug information. A logic flaw in the handling of DWARF location list headers can cause objdump to enter an unbounded loop and produce endless output until manually interrupted. This issue affects versions prior to the upstream fix and allows a local attacker to cause excessive resource consumption by supplying a malicious input file.
