Description

An integer overflow vulnerability exists in radare2's CPython bytecode .pyc marshal parser prior to version 6.2.0. The vulnerability occurs because the parser accepts a 32-bit string length that can overflow the allocation size, leading to heap memory corruption when processing crafted .pyc files. This can cause denial of service, and while arbitrary code execution is possible, it has not been demonstrated. The issue is fixed in radare2 version 6.2.0.
