CVE-2025-1744: Out-of-bounds Write in radare2
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Plan (action score 40/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.50% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
- Fixed version: radareorg radare2 <5.9.9, patch 5.9.9; azl3 binutils 2.41-5 on Azure Linux 3.0 2.41-5; azl3 ceph 18.2.2-6 on Azure Linux 3.0 18.2.2-6.
Add it to your regular patch cycle. Upgrade to radareorg radare2 <5.9.9, patch 5.9.9; azl3 binutils 2.41-5 on Azure Linux 3.0 2.41-5; azl3 ceph 18.2.2-6 on Azure Linux 3.0 18.2.2-6 or later.
