The static variables used by bfd_section_from_shdr to detect loops in ELF sections have a problem: Comparing a BFD pointer doesn't guarantee that the current bfd is the same as the one previously used to allocate the sections_being_created array. For example, doing size bad_elf_1 bad_elf_2 with two corrupted ELF files containing section loops will leave the section_being_created array allocated for the first file and since bfd_close is called for bad_elf_1 before bfd_elf_2 is opened, it is possible that the BFD for the second file is allocated in the same memory as the first file. If bad_elf_2 has more sections than bad_elf_1 then we might write beyond the end of the array. So this patch implements the FIXME Nick put in a comment about attaching the array to the BFD. * elf-bfd.h (struct elf_obj_tdata): Add being_created. * elf.c (bfd_section_from_shdr): Delete static vars for loop detection. Use new tdata variable instead. * elfcode.h (elf_object_p): Allocate being_created.
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.
