CVE-2022-47008 [HIGH] GNU binutils vulnerabilities
Title: GNU binutils vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in GNU binutils.
It was discovered that GNU binutils was not properly performing bounds
checks in several functions, which could lead to a buffer overflow. An
attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service,
expose sensitive information or execute arbitrary code.

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.

binutils: memory leak in pr_function_type() in prdbg.c
vendor_redhat·2022-06-18·CVSS 5.5
CVE-2022-47010 [MEDIUM] CWE-400 binutils: memory leak in pr_function_type() in prdbg.c
binutils: memory leak in pr_function_type() in prdbg.c
An issue was discovered function pr_function_type in prdbg.c in Binutils 2.34 thru 2.38, allows attackers to cause a denial of service due to memory leaks.
A memory leak flaw was found in binutils in the pr_function_type function. This flaw allows an attacker to use a set of steps to trigger a memory leak and perform a denial of service, resulting in a loss of the system's availability.
Statement: The issue is classified as low severity primarily because binutils is not typically exposed to untrusted inputs in most environments, limiting its exploitation potential. The memory leak in pr_function_type only triggers during the parsing of malformed files, which would require an attacker to convince a user to process a malicious file. M
