Process crash via DWARF graph integer overflow
Published Dec 10, 2022 · Updated Apr 14, 2025
Integer overflow in radare2's DWARF graph rendering before 5.8.0 allows context-dependent attackers to crash the process. core_anal_graph_label adds the accumulated index, source-line length, and eight extra bytes without checking overflow before realloc and memcpy. A user must analyze a crafted file and render its DWARF-backed graph; the undersized allocation can also corrupt process memory.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
