{"id":"CVE-2025-69649","details":"GNU Binutils thru 2.46 readelf contains a null pointer dereference vulnerability when processing a crafted ELF binary with malformed header fields. During relocation processing, an invalid or null section pointer may be passed into display_relocations(), resulting in a segmentation fault (SIGSEGV) and abrupt termination. No evidence of memory corruption beyond the null pointer dereference, nor any possibility of code execution, was observed.","modified":"2026-04-10T05:35:23.075585Z","published":"2026-03-06T19:16:10.640Z","references":[{"type":"FIX","url":"https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=66a3492ce68e1ae45b2489bd9a815c39ea5d7f66"},{"type":"EVIDENCE","url":"https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33697"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"49d4d3fafa4ec4ff5a3460d91d5b1ed5286487db"}],"database_specific":{"versions":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"2.46"}]}}],"versions":["binutils-2_41-release","binutils-2_46","gdb-10-branchpoint","gdb-11-branchpoint","gdb-12-branchpoint","gdb-13-branchpoint","gdb-14-branchpoint","gdb-15-branchpoint","gdb-16-branchpoint","gdb-17-branchpoint","gdb-4_18-branchpoint","gdb-7.10-branchpoint","gdb-7.11-branchpoint","gdb-7.12-branchpoint","gdb-7.7-branchpoint","gdb-7.8-branchpoint","gdb-7.9-branchpoint","gdb-8.0-branchpoint","gdb-8.1-branchpoint","gdb-8.2-branchpoint","gdb-8.3-branchpoint","gdb-9-branchpoint","gdb_5_2-branchpoint","gdb_5_3-branchpoint","gdb_6_0-branchpoint","gdb_6_1-branchpoint","gdb_6_2-branchpoint","gdb_6_3-branchpoint","gdb_6_4-branchpoint","gdb_6_5-branchpoint","gdb_6_6-branchpoint","gdb_6_7-branchpoint","gdb_6_8-branchpoint","gdb_7_0-branchpoint","gdb_7_1-branchpoint","gdb_7_2-branchpoint","gdb_7_3-branchpoint","gdb_7_4-branchpoint","gdb_7_5-branchpoint","gdb_7_6-branchpoint","users/ARM/embedded-binutils-master-2016q4","users/ARM/embedded-binutils-master-2017q4","users/ARM/embedded-binutils-master-2018q4","users/ARM/embedded-gdb-master-2017q4","users/ARM/embedded-gdb-master-2018q4"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2025-69649.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
