A weakness has been identified in GNU Binutils 2.47. Affected is the function bfd_putl64 of the file bfd/libbfd.c of the component ld. This manipulation causes null pointer dereference. The attack requires local access. 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.
Why it matters
- ▸ 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
Apply the vendor patch as soon as it's available or already released. Review and restrict accounts with the privilege level this vulnerability requires.
