CVE-2025-69651

GNU Binutils thru 2.46 readelf contains a vulnerability that leads to an invalid pointer free when processing a crafted ELF binary with malformed relocation or symbol data. If dump_relocations returns early due to parsing errors, the internal all_relocations array may remain partially uninitialized. Later, process_got_section_contents() may attempt to free an invalid r_symbol pointer, triggering memory corruption checks in glibc and causing the program to terminate with SIGABRT. No evidence of further memory corruption or code execution was observed; the impact is limited to denial of service.

Summary
  • (es) GNU Binutils hasta 2.46 readelf contiene una vulnerabilidad que conduce a una liberación de puntero no válida al procesar un binario ELF manipulado con datos de reubicación o símbolos malformados. Si dump_relocations retorna prematuramente debido a errores de análisis, el array interno all_relocations puede permanecer parcialmente sin inicializar. Más tarde, process_got_section_contents() puede intentar liberar un puntero r_symbol no válido, lo que activa comprobaciones de corrupción de memoria en glibc y provoca que el programa termine con SIGABRT. No se observó evidencia de mayor corrupción de memoria o ejecución de código; el impacto se limita a denegación de servicio.
