A vulnerability was detected in GNU Binutils 2.47. Affected by this issue is the function _bfd_elf_write_section_eh_frame of the file bfd/elf-eh-frame.c of the component Eh Frame Section Handler. Performing a manipulation of the argument cie_length/fde_length/augmentation_data_size/write_offset results in buffer overflow. Attacking locally is a requirement. The exploit is now public and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through a bug report but has not responded yet.
Why it matters
- ▸ Requires local access, limiting mass exploitation
- ▸ Low attack complexity — no special conditions needed to exploit
- ▸ Requires low-privilege access first
- ▸ Requires the victim to take an action (e.g. open a file or link)
Apply the vendor patch as soon as it's available or already released. Review and restrict accounts with the privilege level this vulnerability requires. User-awareness training reduces risk here, since exploitation depends on tricking a user into acting.
This analysis is generated from structured CVSS vector data, CISA KEV cross-referencing, and vendor/product category rules — not a manual expert review. Treat it as a starting point, not a substitute for your own assessment.
