It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-69651 exists.\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-2025-69651/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-69651/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-69651","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-69651/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-69651","record":{"aliases":["AZL-79574","AZL-79580","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-69651","ECHO-30c0-a594-f90e","GHSA-v4pr-w75g-wfrf","MINI-8444-x9p7-f644","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-69651"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GNU Binutils readelf","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A crafted ELF binary causes readelf to crash via an invalid pointer free, resulting in denial of service for developers using the tool.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"binutils","vendor":"gnu"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"GNU Binutils thru 2.46 readelf contains a vulnerability that leads to an invalid pointer free when processing a crafted ELF binary with malformed relocation or symbol data. If dump_relocations returns early due to parsing errors, the internal all_relocations array may remain partially uninitialized. Later, process_got_section_contents() may attempt to free an invalid r_symbol pointer, triggering memory corruption checks in glibc and causing the program to terminate with SIGABRT. No evidence of further memory corruption or code execution was observed; the impact is limited to denial of service. NOTE: this is disputed by third parties because the observed behavior occurred only in pre-release code and did not affect any tagged version.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-69651","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"gnu:binutils","products":["gnu:binutils"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-69652"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-69650"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2026-03-06","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":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-22","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A crafted ELF binary causes readelf to crash via an invalid pointer free, resulting in denial of service for developers using the tool.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-69651/"}
