Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1352)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the __libdw_thread_tail() function in libdw_alloc.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim into passing specially crafted file to the application, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1372)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the dump_data_section() and print_string_section() functions in readelf.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim into passing specially crafted file to the application, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1376)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources within the elf_strptr() function in /libelf/elf_strptr.c. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1377)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources within the gelf_getsymshndx() function in strip.c. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
