Description

This security bulletin contains information about 10 vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-7546)

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the bfd_elf_set_group_contents() function in bfd/elf.c. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


2) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-7545)

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the copy_section() function in binutils/objcopy.c. A local user can trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


3) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-11413)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the elf_link_add_object_symbols() function in bfd/elflink.c. A local user can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


4) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-11412)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the bfd_elf_gc_record_vtentry() function in bfd/elflink.c. A local user can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-11414)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the get_link_hash_entry() function in bfd/elflink.c. A local user can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-11495)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption
