Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions radare2 version 4.5.0

Description The issue is related to the misparsing of DWARF information in executable files, which causes a segmentation fault in the parse typedef function in type dwarf.c. This occurs due to a malformed DW AT name in the .debug info section.

Recommendations For radare2 version 4.5.0, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the parse typedef function in type dwarf.c to prevent the segmentation fault until a patch is available. Restrict access to malformed executable files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
