From 160b1a618ad94988410dc81fce9189fcda5b7ff4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Modra Date: Sat, 18 Nov 2017 23:18:22 +1030 Subject: [PATCH] PR22443, Global buffer overflow in _bfd_elf_get_symbol_version_string Symbols like *ABS* defined in bfd/section.c:global_syms are not elf_symbol_type. They can appear on relocs and perhaps other places in an ELF bfd, so a number of places in nm.c and objdump.c are wrong to cast an asymbol based on the bfd being ELF. I think we lose nothing by excluding all section symbols, not just the global_syms. PR 22443 * nm.c (sort_symbols_by_size): Don't attempt to access section symbol internal_elf_sym. (print_symbol): Likewise. Don't call bfd_get_symbol_version_string for section symbols. * objdump.c (compare_symbols): Don't attempt to access section symbol internal_elf_sym. (objdump_print_symname): Don't call bfd_get_symbol_version_string for section symbols. --- binutils/ChangeLog | 12 ++++++++++++ binutils/nm.c | 17 ++++++++++------- binutils/objdump.c | 6 +++--- 3 files changed, 25 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/binutils/ChangeLog b/binutils/ChangeLog index 3c9973f..2f4c0d8 100644 --- a/binutils/ChangeLog +++ b/binutils/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,15 @@ +2017-11-18 Alan Modra + + PR 22443 + * nm.c (sort_symbols_by_size): Don't attempt to access + section symbol internal_elf_sym. + (print_symbol): Likewise.
