Summary

CVE-2026-14759 is a low-severity Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (CWE-119) vulnerability in Radare Radare2. Its CVSS base score is 1.9 (Low).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Client Execution (T1203); ranked at the 9th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

A security flaw has been discovered in radareorg radare2 up to 6.1.6. This issue affects the function r_bin_java_inner_classes_attr_calc_size of the file shlr/java/class.c of the component RBinJava Line Number Table Parser. Performing a manipulation results in heap-based buffer overflow. The attack…

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution Execution
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in client applications to execute code.
T1204.002 Malicious File Execution
An adversary may rely upon a user opening a malicious file in order to gain execution.
Why these techniques?

Heap buffer overflow in local Java class file parser enables client-side code execution via malicious input file.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Directly enforces validation of untrusted Java class file input before the Line Number Table parser performs size calculations that trigger the heap overflow.

prevent

Requires prompt application of the vendor patch (cd62d15a) that corrects the bounds error in r_bin_java_inner_classes_attr_calc_size.

prevent

Applies memory-protection mechanisms (e.g., ASLR, guard pages) that reduce the likelihood of successful exploitation of the remaining heap-buffer-overflow condition.

detects

Security testing in development catches out-of-bounds accesses before release, covering most instances of the weakness.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle mandates memory-safety practices that directly prevent buffer-boundary violations.

prevents

Application security requirements can specify memory-safety rules, but do not prescribe implementation details.

prevents

Secure architecture and engineering principles include memory-safe design patterns that mitigate buffer overflows.

prevents

Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe buffer operations, directly eliminating CWE-119.

none

Change management ensures controlled deployment of fixes for discovered heap-overflow vulnerabilities.
