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.

The r_read_* functions in libr/include/r_endian.h in radare2 1.2.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted binary file, as demonstrated by the r_read_le32 function.
