NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream radare2 package and not the radare2 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

In radare 2.0.1, a memory corruption vulnerability exists in store_versioninfo_gnu_verdef() and store_versioninfo_gnu_verneed() in libr/bin/format/elf/elf.c, as demonstrated by an invalid free. This error is due to improper sh_size validation when allocating memory.
