Local process crash via stale register pointer
Published Jul 5, 2026 · Updated Jul 5, 2026
Use-after-free in radare2 6.1.0 through 6.1.6 allows local users to crash the process through a crafted pde disassembly command. The pde loop caches its PC register item, then a bitness-driven profile reset frees that item before the next iteration reads it. Local access sufficient to run radare2 commands is required, and the demonstrated consequence is a process crash without reported data disclosure or modification.
