CVE-2020-35494

CVE-2020-35494 targets GNU Binutils: a flaw in /opcodes/tic4x-dis.c can cause a denial of service via processing crafted input, due to use of uninitialized memory. Affected are binutils versions prior to 2.34. Impact is availability (partial confidentiality/none integrity per description). The co...

CVE-2018-20712

CVE-2018-20712 : A heap-based buffer over-read in d_expression_1 (cp-demangle.c) of GNU libiberty, distributed with GNU Binutils 2.31.1, can cause segmentation faults and denial-of-service as shown by c++filt. Connected sources confirm the same flaw and tie it to GNU Binutils components used by b...

CVE-2018-17794

CVE-2018-17794 affects GNU Binutils/libiberty (cplus-dem.c) where a NULL pointer dereference in work_stuff_copy_to_from can be triggered when called from iterate_demangle_function. The issue is tied to Binutils 2.31; the provided documents describe the vulnerability and target the demangling work...

CVE-2017-12967

CVE-2017-12967 involves the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library (libbfd) in GNU Binutils 2.29. The getsym function in tekhex.c may be triggered by a malformed tekhex binary, allowing a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via a stack-based buffer over-read and resulting in an application...

CVE-2025-1178

CVE-2025-1178 affects GNU Binutils 2.43, specifically the ld component’s libbfd.c function bfd_putl64, where memory corruption is triggered.

CVE-2025-69652

The GNU Binutils readelf tool (versions through 2.46 ) is vulnerable to a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. The root cause is incomplete state cleanup in the process_debug_info() function, which allows an invalid debug_info_p state to propagate into DWARF attribute parsing routines. When process...

CVE-2026-4647

The CVE-2026-4647 issue affects the GNU Binutils BFD library when handling XCOFF object files. A relocation type value is not properly validated before use, allowing an out-of-bounds read. This can cause tools that process XCOFF binaries to crash or expose unintended memory contents, leading to d...

CVE-2026-90804

A buffer overflow (specifically a heap out-of-bounds write via a negative-size memmove) exists in GNU Binutils 2.47 , in the function _bfd_elf_write_section_eh_frame within bfd/elf-eh-frame.c (Eh Frame Section Handler).
