      "value": "Ghidra before 12.1 contains a heap-use-after-free vulnerability in the decompiler's HighVariable::merge() function during the variable merging pass. Attackers can trigger this vulnerability by crafting a binary that causes stale pointers in the HighIntersectTest::highedgemap cache to be dereferenced, reading and writing the flags field of freed heap memory when a user opens the binary in Ghidra's decompiler view."

      "value": "Ghidra antes de 12.1 contiene una vulnerabilidad de uso después de liberación de heap en la función HighVariable::merge() del descompilador durante el paso de fusión de variables. Los atacantes pueden activar esta vulnerabilidad al crear un binario que provoca que se desreferencien punteros obsoletos en la caché HighIntersectTest::highedgemap, leyendo y escribiendo el campo ’flags’ de la memoria de heap liberada cuando un usuario abre el binario en la vista de descompilador de Ghidra."
