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: objdump: buffer Overflow in the BFD library's handling of tekhex format files
GNU objdump 2.43 is vulnerable to Buffer Overflow in the BFD (Binary File Descriptor) library's handling of tekhex format files.
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in GNU Binutils’ objdump utility when processing tekhex format files. During format identification, the vulnerability occurs in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library’s tekhex parser. A specially crafted tekhex file, when processed by objdump, may trigger an out-of-bounds read, leading to a denial of service or other undefined behavior.
