{"id":"CVE-2025-69652","details":"GNU Binutils thru 2.46 readelf contains a vulnerability that leads to an abort (SIGABRT) when processing a crafted ELF binary with malformed DWARF abbrev or debug information. Due to incomplete state cleanup in process_debug_info(), an invalid debug_info_p state may propagate into DWARF attribute parsing routines. When certain malformed attributes result in an unexpected data length of zero, byte_get_little_endian() triggers a fatal abort. No evidence of memory corruption or code execution was observed; the impact is limited to denial of service.","modified":"2026-04-10T05:35:22.823048Z","published":"2026-03-06T19:16:10.907Z","references":[{"type":"FIX","url":"https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=44b79abd0fa12e7947252eb4c6e5d16ed6033e01"},{"type":"EVIDENCE","url":"https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33701"}],"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-2025-69652.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
