Nick Clifton 5a3f568b70 More fixes for buffer overruns instigated by corrupt binaries.
PR binutils/17512
	* objdump.c (slurp_symtab): Fail gracefully if the table could not
	be read.
	(dump_relocs_in_section): Likewise.

	* aoutx.h (slurp_symbol_table): Check that computed table size is
	not bigger than the file from which is it being read.
	(slurp_reloc_table): Likewise.
	* coffcode.h (coff_slurp_line_table): Remove unneeded local
	'warned'.  Do not try to print the details of a symbol with an
	invalid index.
	* coffgen.c (make_a_sectiobn_from_file): Check computed string
	index against length of string table.
	(bfd_coff_internal_syment_name): Check read in string offset
	against length of string table.
	(build_debug_section): Return a pointer to the section used.
	(_bfd_coff_read_string_table): Store the length of the string
	table in the coff_tdata structure.
	(bfd_coff_free_symbols): Set the length of the string table to
	zero when it is freed.
	(coff_get_normalized_symtab): Check offsets against string table
	or data table lengths as appropriate.
	* cofflink.c (_bfd_coff_link_input_bfd): Check offset against
	length of string table.
	* compress.c (bfd_get_full_section_contents): Check computed size
	against the size of the file.
	* libcoff-in.h (obj_coff_strings_len): Define.
	(struct coff_tdata): Add strings_len field.
	* libcoff.h: Regenerate.
	* peXXigen.c (pe_print_debugdata): Do not attempt to print the
	data if the debug section is too small.
	* xcofflink.c (xcoff_link_input_bfd):  Check offset against
	length of string table.

This file contains invisible Unicode characters

This file contains invisible Unicode characters that are indistinguishable to humans but may be processed differently by a computer. If you think that this is intentional, you can safely ignore this warning. Use the Escape button to reveal them.

BFD is an object file library.  It permits applications to use the
same routines to process object files regardless of their format.

BFD is used by the GNU debugger, assembler, linker, and the binary
utilities.

The documentation on using BFD is scanty and may be occasionally
incorrect.  Pointers to documentation problems, or an entirely
rewritten manual, would be appreciated.

There is some BFD internals documentation in doc/bfdint.texi which may
help programmers who want to modify BFD.

BFD is normally built as part of another package.  See the build
instructions for that package, probably in a README file in the
appropriate directory.

BFD supports the following configure options:

  --target=TARGET
	The default target for which to build the library.  TARGET is
	a configuration target triplet, such as sparc-sun-solaris.
  --enable-targets=TARGET,TARGET,TARGET...
	Additional targets the library should support.  To include
	support for all known targets, use --enable-targets=all.
  --enable-64-bit-bfd
	Include support for 64 bit targets.  This is automatically
	turned on if you explicitly request a 64 bit target, but not
	for --enable-targets=all.  This requires a compiler with a 64
	bit integer type, such as gcc.
  --enable-shared
	Build BFD as a shared library.
  --with-mmap
	Use mmap when accessing files.  This is faster on some hosts,
	but slower on others.  It may not work on all hosts.

Report bugs with BFD to bug-binutils@gnu.org.

Patches are encouraged.  When sending patches, always send the output
of diff -u or diff -c from the original file to the new file.  Do not
send default diff output.  Do not make the diff from the new file to
the original file.  Remember that any patch must not break other
systems.  Remember that BFD must support cross compilation from any
host to any target, so patches which use ``#ifdef HOST'' are not
acceptable.  Please also read the ``Reporting Bugs'' section of the
gcc manual.

Bug reports without patches will be remembered, but they may never get
fixed until somebody volunteers to fix them.
