CVE-2025-60361

Local denial of service via leaked buffers

Published Oct 17, 2025 · Updated Oct 17, 2025

Memory leak in radare2 5.9.8 and earlier allows local users to interrupt service by repeatedly invoking bochs_open. Error and completion paths in shlr/bochs/src/libbochs.c return without releasing b->data and lpTmpBuffer. A low-privilege local user must reach the Bochs-opening path; repeated calls consume process memory and can deny availability.
