A security flaw has been discovered in GNU Binutils 2.47. This vulnerability affects the function elf_orphan_compatible of the file ld/ldelf.c of the component ELF Orphan Section Handler. Performing a manipulation results in null pointer dereference. The attack must be initiated from a local position. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. The project was informed of the problem early through a bug report but has not responded yet.

Why it matters

Internet-facing
Not identified as a common internet-facing category
Exploitation likelihood
medium
  • Requires local access, limiting mass exploitation
  • Low attack complexity — no special conditions needed to exploit
  • Requires low-privilege access first
  • No user interaction needed — can be exploited automatically
Recommended mitigation

Apply the vendor patch as soon as it's available or already released. Review and restrict accounts with the privilege level this vulnerability requires.

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.
