Gnu · Gnu Elfutils · CVE-2025-1352
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
GNU elfutils version 0.192
Description:
A critical issue has been found in GNU elfutils, affecting the ` libdw thread tail` function in the `libdw alloc.c` library of the `eu-readelf` component. The manipulation of the argument `w` leads to memory corruption. The attack can be initiated remotely, with a rather high complexity, and the exploitation appears to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
Recommendations:
To fix this issue, it is recommended to apply a patch, specifically the one with the name `2636426a091bd6c6f7f02e49ab20d4cdc6bfc753`. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the ` libdw thread tail` function until a patch is available. Restrict access to the `libdw alloc.c` library to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the argument `w` in the affected function until the issue is resolved.
