I have an update to my app that has been reviewed and is Pending Developer Release.
I have found a bug in this version and would actually like to reject this binary and keep my existing binary.
Once I fix the bug, I would like to re-upload a new binary. Is this possible?

Pending Developer release: Your updated app version has been approved by Apple but you still need to manually release to the store for sale (if you chose manual release as your version release method). Ready for Sale: Your updated app version has been approved and it is made available on the Apple Store.
As per Apple, bugs and unfinished or undercooked apps with broken functionality and hyperlinks, inaccurate or misleading information are the top reason for app rejection, contributing to over a fifth of total rejections.
Apple said in a slide deck presented in the trial that it has used a combination of 500 human reviewers and automated checks to review roughly 5 million apps per year, including updates, between 2017 and 2019, with rejection rates ranging from 33% to 36%.
It took me a little while to find the answer to this. It can be done, but the answer isn't very intuitive.
In iTunes Connect, select your new application & load the details for it. Click the "Binary Details" link. Once this screen is open, there will be a "Reject this Binary" button on this screen.
I found this within the iTunes Developer guide(Link PDF has only 1 page and no other information) under the Rejecting Your Binary section. Apple really could have made the button more obvious.

Attaching screenshots from the App Store Connect (previously known as iTunes Connect) interface:
Select the version, then click on "cancel this release"
You can only edit some information while your version is pending developer release. To edit all information, cancel this release.
You will be prompted with a confirmation dialog:
Are you sure you want to cancel the release of version 2.6?
If you cancel this release, you must choose a new binary and resubmit this app version. Your version will be reviewed again by App Review.
