CVE-2025-1352: Memory Corruption in GNU elfutils
CVE-2025-1352 is a memory corruption vulnerability in GNU elfutils version 0. 192, specifically in the __libdw_thread_tail function within libdw_alloc. c of the eu-readelf component. The vulnerability is triggered by manipulation of the argument w, potentially leading to memory corruption. Although the attack can be initiated remotely, it requires high attack complexity and appears difficult to exploit. A patch identified by commit 2636426a091bd6c6f7f02e49ab20d4cdc6bfc753 is recommended to address this issue. The CVSS 4. 0 score rates this vulnerability as low severity. No known exploits are currently observed in the wild.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability affects GNU elfutils 0.192 in the eu-readelf component's __libdw_thread_tail function, where improper handling of the argument w can cause memory corruption. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable but requires high complexity and user interaction, with limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability as reflected by the CVSS 4.0 vector. A patch exists (commit 2636426a091bd6c6f7f02e49ab20d4cdc6bfc753) to fix the issue, though no official remediation level is specified in the provided data.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could lead to memory corruption, which might affect the stability or behavior of the affected component. However, the low CVSS score and high attack complexity indicate limited practical impact. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Apply the patch identified by commit 2636426a091bd6c6f7f02e49ab20d4cdc6bfc753 to remediate this vulnerability. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the vendor advisory content, so verify the availability and applicability of this patch from the official GNU elfutils sources. No other specific mitigations are indicated.
