DescriptionNVD

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.

AnalysisAI

Memory corruption in radare2 6.1.5's GDB client allows remote attackers to crash the application or potentially execute code through malformed thread information responses. The vulnerability triggers when the GDB remote protocol's qsThreadInfo command fails after qfThreadInfo has allocated memory, causing a use-after-free condition. …
