CWE-ID: CWE-119

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerable software:
radare2

Software vendor:
Radare

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

radare2 through 3.5.1 mishandles the RParse API, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact, as demonstrated by newstr buffer overflows during replace operations. This affects libr/asm/asm.c and libr/parse/parse.c.
