CVE-2026-14760
Description
A flaw was found in radareorg radare2. This vulnerability, a use-after-free, affects the regprofile Handler component. A local attacker can exploit this flaw by performing a specific manipulation, which could lead to a denial of service, making the application unavailable.
Statement
This flaw is rated as Low impact due to its requirement for local access to trigger a use-after-free vulnerability within the radare2 reverse engineering framework. Exploitation could result in a denial of service, impacting the availability of the application. The limited scope of this vulnerability, primarily affecting users who execute radare2 locally, contributes to its lower severity.
Mitigation
To mitigate this issue, restrict local access to systems where radare2 is installed. If radare2 is not essential for system operation, consider removing the `radare2` package to eliminate the vulnerability.
