🚨 HIGH - Remote-triggerable memory corruption in elfutils eu-readelf (__libdw_thread_tail) (CVE-2025-1352) GNU elfutils 0.192 is vulnerable to memory corruption in the __libdw_thread_tail routine within libdw_alloc.c, reachable via the eu-readelf component when processing crafted inputs. The underlying issue is a memory-safety flaw (heap memory corruption) consistent with improper bounds handling/unsafe pointer arithmetic in the thread-tail allocation logic. An attacker can potentially trigger this remotely by feeding eu-readelf a malicious ELF file or otherwise manipulating the argument w passed into the vulnerable code path, though exploitation is considered difficult and high-complexity. Successful exploitation can lead to process crashes (DoS) and, in worst cases, arbitrary code execution in the context of the user running eu-readelf. 👉 Affected: elfutils 0.192 | Upgrade to a build including commit 2636426a091bd6c6f7f02e49ab20d4cdc6bfc753
