CVE-2026-91779

A security flaw has been discovered in GNU Binutils 2.47. This affects the function _bfd_elf_eh_frame_section_offset of the file bfd/elf-eh-frame.c of the component Eh Frame Handler. Performing a manipulation results in null pointer dereference. The attack must be initiated from a local position. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. The project was informed of the problem early through a bug report but has not responded yet.

What this means for your business

  • An attacker can use it only with access to the machine itself, with an ordinary user login, and without anyone at your company clicking anything.

What to do

  1. 1Ask your IT team or provider whether any of your systems use the affected product.
  2. 2If you do, follow the vendor's guidance. No patch reference has been published yet.
