Radare2 · Radare2 · CVE-2022-1238
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
radare2 versions prior to 5.6.8
**Description**
The issue is related to an out-of-bounds write in the libr/bin/format/ne/ne.c file, which can cause a heap buffer overflow. This may be exploitable. The heap buffer overflow occurs when more data is written to a buffer than it is designed to hold, causing extra data to spill over into adjacent areas of memory.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 5.6.8, update to version 5.6.8 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the vulnerable `ne.c` file in the `libr/bin/format/ne` directory until a patch is applied.
