Description
A vulnerability was detected in radareorg radare2 up to 6.1.6. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file libr/bin/format/mdmp/mdmp.c of the component Memory64ListStream Parser. Performing a manipulation results in stack-based buffer overflow. The attack requires a local approach. The exploit is now public and may be used. The patch is named 175d4addb68981331c85b10681c2161c38fb5762. It is suggested to install a patch to address this issue.

Impact

A stack-based buffer overflow has been identified in the MDMP format parser of radare2, specifically within the Memory64ListStream component. The vulnerability arises from insufficient bounds checking on a local buffer, which can be triggered by malicious manipulation of MDMP data. While the CVE notes that the exploit is publicly available and may be used, it does not explicitly state the outcome; however, a stack overflow of this type typically allows an attacker to corrupt control data, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or process termination if local privileges are present.

Affected Systems

All radareorg radare2 releases up and including version 6.1.6 are affected. The flaw resides in the standard MDMP parser shipped with these versions. Systems running any of these releases are vulnerable when MDMP parsing is enabled.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 4.8 indicates moderate severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a very low probability of exploitation. The issue requires local access to supply malicious MDMP data and is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Nonetheless, the public availability of an exploit and the presence of a stack overflow warrant a patch as soon as possible.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade radare2 to a version newer than 6.1.6, which incorporates the patch identified by commit 175d4addb68981331c85b10681c2161c38fb5762.
  • If an immediate update is not feasible, restrict local access to the radare2 binary and its related libraries, limiting the ability of untrusted users to provide crafted MDMP input.
  • If MDMP parsing is not required for your workflow, disable or remove the MDPE support module to eliminate the vulnerable code path.
