• Operating system and version: linux 6.1.38
• stlink tools version and/or git commit hash: v1.7.0-316-g31c7fc6-dirty
• stlink commandline tool name: stlink-gui

Commandline output:

$ ./stlink-gui 

(stlink-gui:25286): GLib-ERROR **: 10:38:03.866: ../glib-2.78.1/glib/gmem.c:136: failed to allocate 139988352155568 bytes
Trace/breakpoint trap

The program crashes after opening a file.

Commit 3343078 seems to be the villain. Why g_malloc(<pointer_casted_to_gsize>) instead of the previous g_malloc(g_file_info_get_size(file_info))?

Changing line 311 from gui->file_mem.size = (gsize) file_info; to gui->file_mem.size = file_size; fixed the issue and I was able to flash the device.

@rcubee That's a good question, I need to check.
