NVD Description

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

GNU Binutils thru 2.45.1 readelf contains a denial-of-service vulnerability when processing a crafted binary with malformed DWARF loclists data. A logic flaw in the DWARF parsing code can cause readelf to repeatedly print the same table output without making forward progress, resulting in an unbounded output loop that never terminates unless externally interrupted. A local attacker can trigger this behavior by supplying a malicious input file, causing excessive CPU and I/O usage and preventing readelf from completing its analysis.
