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:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

radare2 6.1.5 contains a use-after-free vulnerability in the gdbr_threads_list() function that allows remote attackers to trigger memory corruption by sending a valid qfThreadInfo response followed by a malformed qsThreadInfo response. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability through GDB remote debugging to cause a denial of service or potentially achieve code execution by manipulating thread list processing.
