CVE-2026-31053
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA double free vulnerability exists in librz/bin/format/le/le.c in the function le_load_fixup_record(). When processing malformed or circular LE fixup chains, relocation entries may be freed multiple times during error handling. A specially crafted LE binary can trigger heap corruption and cause the application to crash, resulting in a denial-of-service condition. An attacker with a crafted binary could cause a denial of service when the tool is integrated on a service pipeline.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysisThe same block of memory is freed twice, corrupting the allocator's bookkeeping in ways an attacker can shape toward code execution. It usually stems from tangled ownership of a pointer. The fix is clear, single ownership of each allocation and clearing pointers once they are freed.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedLatest Rizin release after version 0.8.1 that incorporates the PR #5795 fix
- Check the current installed version of Rizin with: rizin -v
- Upgrade Rizin to the latest stable release that includes the fix from PR #5795 (https://github.com/rizinorg/rizin/pull/5795)
- Verify the upgrade was successful by running: rizin -v
- Test that LE binary parsing now works correctly with the updated version
