CVE-2022-47011

A memory leak flaw was found in binutils. This flaw allows an attacker to use a set of steps to trigger a memory leak and perform a denial of service, resulting in a loss of the system's availability.

Red Hat has determined this flaw to be of low impact as the memory leak identified would need to be triggered repeatedly (for example in a long-running process) to eventually cause binutils to crash and is itself more of a resource exhaustion issue than an exploitable vulnerability.
