CVE-2025-11412 [LOW] GNU binutils vulnerabilities
Title: GNU binutils vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in GNU binutils.
It was discovered that GNU binutils' dump_dwarf_section function could be
manipulated to perform an out-of-bounds read. A local attacker could
possibly use this issue to cause GNU binutils to crash, resulting in a
denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 25.10. (CVE-2025-11081)
It was discovered that GNU binutils incorrectly handled certain files. A
local attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash or execute
arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04
LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 25.10.

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.
