An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-7225 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Gnu Binutils. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7225/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7225/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-7225","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7225/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-7225","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2017-7225","GHSA-6g78-2pwj-3gvj","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-7225"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GNU Binutils addr2line","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A NULL pointer dereference in GNU Binutils addr2line allows attackers to cause a program crash via empty file and directory names.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"binutils","vendor":"gnu"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"The find_nearest_line function in addr2line in GNU Binutils 2.28 does not handle the case where the main file name and the directory name are both empty, triggering a NULL pointer dereference and an invalid write, and leading to a program crash.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-7225","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"gnu:binutils","products":["gnu:binutils"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-7226"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-7224"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-03-22","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-7614","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-9939","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-21"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-7226","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-22"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6969","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-19726","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-22"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Binutils: binutils: arbitrary code execution via malformed xcoff object file processing","id":"CVE-2026-6846","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-22"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-44840","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-22"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A NULL pointer dereference in GNU Binutils addr2line allows attackers to cause a program crash via empty file and directory names.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-7225/"}
