Nick Clifton 06614111d1 More fixes for memory access violations exposed by fuzzed binaries.
PR binutils/17512
	* dwarf.h (struct dwarf_section): Add user_data field.
	* dwarf.c (frame_need_space): Check for an over large register
	number.
	(display_debug_frames): Check the return value from
	frame_need_space.  Check for a CFA expression that is so long the
	start address wraps around.
	(debug_displays): Initialise the user_data field.
	* objdump.c (load_specific_debug_section): Save the BFD section
	pointer in the user_data field of the dwarf_section structure.
	(free_debug_section): Update BFD section data when freeing section
	contents.
	* readelf.c (load_specific_debug_section): Initialise the
	user_data field.

	* archive.c (do_slurp_coff_armap): Add range checks to prevent
	running off the end of the string table.
	* compress.c (bfd_get_full_section_contents): Return a NULL
	pointer for zero sized sections.  Do not attempt to copy a buffer
	onto itself.
	* elf-attrs.c (_bfd_elf_parse_attributes): Check for an empty
	header.  Add range checks to avoid running off the end of the
	section.
	* elf.c (bfd_elf_get_str_section): Seek before allocating so that
	if the seek fails, no memory is allocated.
	(bfd_elf_string_from_elf_section): Do not allocate a string from a
	non string section.  It only leads to trouble later on.
	(_bfd_elf_print_private_bfd_data): Check for there being too
	little external dynamic data.
	(bfd_section_from_shdr): Replace assertion with a failure mode.
	(bfd_section_from_shdr): When walking a loaded group section use
	the internal structure size, not the external size.  Check for the
	group section being empty.
	* elf32-i386.c (elf_i386_rtype_to_howto): Replace assertion with a
	failure mode.
	* elfcode.h (elf_slurp_reloc_table): Likewise.
	* reloc.c (bfd_perform_relocation): Avoid seg-fault if the howto
	parameter is NULL.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
