Subject: [scarthgap][PATCH v2 1/1] binutils: fix CVE-2025-69649, and CVE-2025-69652
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 14:37:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709123740.150315-2-roland.kovacs@est.tech> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709123740.150315-1-roland.kovacs@est.tech>
CVE-2025-69649:
Null pointer dereference in readelf before 2.46 results in segfault when
processing a crafted ELF binary with malformed header fields.
No evidence of memory corruption beyond the null pointer dereference, nor
any possibility of code execution, was observed.
CVE-2025-69652:
Null pointer dereference in readelf when processing a crafted ELF binary
with malformed DWARF abbrev or debug information which leads to SIGABORT.
No evidence of memory corruption or code execution was observed; the impact
is limited to denial of service.

+Subject: [PATCH] PR 33697, fuzzer segfault
+
+ PR 33697
+ * readelf.c (process_relocs): Don't segfault on no sections.
+
+CVE: CVE-2025-69649
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=66a3492ce68e1ae45b2489bd9a815c39ea5d7f66]
+
+Note:
+ The difference between this patch on v2.42 and upstream v2.46 is due to
+ the loop body printing the relocations in-line, which then in commit
+ 8e8d0b63ff15896cc2c228c01f18dfcf2a4a9305 have been factored out to a
+ separate 'display_relocations()' function.
+
+ See: [https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blobdiff;f=binutils/readelf.c;h=fa0de3a7e0d9c2acc18fe047a7019e09f1ce3894;hp=c1006480b7bc3e83dd87fb20d215342375614af9;hb=8e8d0b63ff15896cc2c228c01f18dfcf2a4a9305;hpb=31c21e2c13d85793b525f74aa911eb28700ed89c]
