"The version of binutils installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2025-5245 advisory.

  - A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in GNU Binutils up to 2.44. This affects the
    function debug_type_samep of the file /binutils/debug.c of the component objdump. The manipulation leads
    to memory corruption. Local access is required to approach this attack. The exploit has been disclosed to
    the public and May be used. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. (CVE-2025-5245)
