Description
CVE-2026-81883 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in radare2's Lua 5.3 bytecode function parser affecting versions prior to 6.2.0. The parser reads fixed function-metadata fields immediately after a function-name string without verifying buffer boundaries, leading to reads beyond the allocated input buffer. This can cause invalid parsing results or process termination. No memory disclosure or attacker-observable information leak has been demonstrated. The issue is fixed in radare2 version 6.2.0.
