Description
CVE-2026-81886 is a medium severity vulnerability in radare2 prior to version 6.2.0. It involves the Windows 64-bit crash-dump dmp64 parser, which improperly uses an input-controlled PageCount to allocate memory without validating against the dump size. This can lead to excessive memory consumption and processing time, causing a denial of service. The issue is fixed in radare2 version 6.2.0.
