CVE-2026-8696
HighSummary
Version 6.1.5 of radare2 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in the gdbr_pids_list() function, which can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code by sending malformed thread information responses.
Risk Assessment
This vulnerability poses a risk to organizations by allowing attackers to remotely trigger denial of service or execute unauthorized code, potentially leading to serious security implications.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update radare2 to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability and to monitor systems for potential exploitation attempts.
Other vulnerabilities in radare2
See all- CVE-2026-8695High
radare2 version 6.1.5 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in the gdbr_threads_list() function. This allows remote attackers to trigger memory corruption by sending a valid qfThreadInfo response followed by a malformed qsThreadInfo response.
- CVE-2026-40499High
radare2 prior to version 6.1.4 contains a command injection vulnerability in the PDB parser's print_gvars() function that allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands by embedding a newline byte in the PE section header name field. Attackers can craft a malicious PDB file with specially crafted section names to inject r2 commands that are executed when the idp command processes the file.
- CVE-2017-15932High
In radare2 version 2.0.1, an integer exception (negative number leading to an invalid memory access) exists in store_versioninfo_gnu_verdef() in elf.c, which can be triggered by crafted ELF files when parsing the ELF version on 32-bit systems.
- CVE-2017-15931High
In radare2 version 2.0.1, an integer exception (negative number leading to an invalid memory access) exists in store_versioninfo_gnu_verneed() in elf.c, which can be exploited via crafted ELF files on 32-bit systems.
- CVE-2017-15385High
The store_versioninfo_gnu_verdef function in radare2 2.0.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted ELF file, leading to an invalid write in r_read_le16 and application crash.
- CVE-2017-15368High
The wasm_dis function in radare2 version 2.0.0 allows remote attackers to cause denial of service through stack-based buffer over-read, leading to application crash. The attack can be executed using a crafted WASM file that triggers an incorrect r_hex_bin2str call.
- CVE-2017-10929High
The grub_memmove function in radare2 1.5.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) via a crafted binary file.
- CVE-2017-9949High
The grub_memmove function in radare2 1.5.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted binary file, potentially leading to application crashes due to a buffer underflow.
- CVE-2017-6448High
The dalvik_disassemble function in radare2 version 1.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted DEX file.
- CVE-2017-6194High
The relocs function in libr/bin/p/bin_bflt.c in radare2 version 1.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted binary file.
Original NVD description (English source)
radare2 6.1.5 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in the gdbr_pids_list() function within the GDB client core that allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code by sending malformed thread information responses. Attackers can trigger the vulnerability by causing qsThreadInfo to fail after qfThreadInfo successfully allocates RDebugPid structures, resulting in double-free memory corruption when the error path attempts to clean up the list.
