The memory leak in bucomm.c only triggers during the parsing of malformed files, which would require an attacker to convince a user to process a malicious file. Moreover, binutils does not handle privileged operations, meaning exploitation is unlikely to lead to system compromise or escalation of privileges. Additionally, the impact is localized to the application itself, without affecting the broader system or network security.", "threat_severity": "Low"}
