2.4 Low Not applicable

CNA tag: x_open-source. The CNA marks the affected code open source.

Not yet in NVD's feed. The description, CVSS and CWE below come from the CVE Numbering Authority's own record, not from NVD analyst review. NVD's own page for this identifier may not exist yet.

Published yesterday. NVD backfills CPE data for days or weeks after publication, and OSV and the exploit indexes lag too. Scope and status here may change.

Description

A vulnerability was detected in GNU Binutils 2.47. Affected by this issue is the function _bfd_elf_write_section_eh_frame of the file bfd/elf-eh-frame.c of the component Eh Frame Section Handler. Performing a manipulation of the argument cie_length/fde_length/augmentation_data_size/write_offset results in buffer overflow. Attacking locally is a requirement. The exploit is now public and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through a bug report but has not responded yet.

# Rule Outcome Status Detail

identity: Does this identifier describe a vulnerability at all? first match wins

1 rejected no-match CVE Program withdrawal of this identifier

scope: Is the vulnerability ARMR's to address? first match wins

2 armr-patch-file no-match An ARMR patch file on disk for this CVE

3 armr-secure-rule-file no-match An ARMR security-rule template on disk for this CVE

4 manual-classification no-match A researcher's recorded decision for this specific CVE

5 manual classification no-match Manual classification of this CVE in the legacy dataset

6 non-java-upstream no-match A root cause in non-Java code: an OS kernel, a C library, or a bundled runtime

7 oracle-component no-match The defect being in a component of a tracked product the agent does not reach: JavaFX, the Java SE installer, the native WebLogic proxy plug-in. Oracle gives these no CPE of their own and names them only in the description.

8 osv-maven no-match An OSV.dev record of this CVE affecting a package published to Maven Central

9 cna-maven-package no-match An affected Maven artifact named by the CNA itself

10 known-cpe-product no-match An NVD CPE naming a product ARMR tracks

11 cna-cpe-product no-match A CPE the CNA published naming a tracked product. Oracle publishes these on advisory day, months before NVD.

12 oracle-advisory-family no-match A tracked product family named in Oracle's own risk matrix. CPE cannot carry a suite name, only a module.

13 non-deployable-product no-match The only affected product being a sealed appliance image, where Java runs but no -javaagent can be attached

14 unmatched-product decided it matched Not applicable No tracked product matched

disposition: What do we do about one that is? cumulative: every rule gets a turn

15 patch-hint not-reached A reference pointing at the upstream fix: a commit, a PR, a Red Hat bug

16 open-source-maven not-reached The affected package being open source on Maven, so the fix can be read

17 poc-derivable not-reached An indexed exploit to reverse-engineer, where there is no source to read

18 no-exploit not-reached With no fix path, a public exploit, or a CISA record of one

19 secure-rule-match not-reached A vulnerability class already blocked by an ARMR security rule

20 below-action-threshold not-reached Medium or Low severity, no KEV listing, no PoC clearing the evidence bar, no CISA verdict, no Oracle advisory

21 no-exploit-published not-reached A published working exploit for this candidate, not only a proof of concept, a forecast, or nothing at all
