The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the dump_dwarf_section() function in binutils/objdump.c. A local user can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
2) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-11082)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the _bfd_elf_parse_eh_frame() function in bfd/elf-eh-frame.c. A local user can trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
3) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-11083)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the elf_swap_shdr() function in bfd/elfcode.h. A local user can trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
