File libelf-error-if-elf_compress_gnu-is-used-on-SHF_COMPRESSED.patch of Package elfutils
From 56b18521fb8d46d40fc090c0de9d11a08bc982fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Wielaard <mark@klomp.org> Date: Sat, 18 Aug 2018 12:42:16 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] libelf: Return error if elf_compress_gnu is used on SHF_COMPRESSED section. References: bnc#1107066 Compressing a section that is already compressed is fine, but useless. But it isn't possible to gnu compress (or decompress) a SHF_COMPRESSED section since there is no state kept that would tell if the section was first GNU compressed or first gabi compressed. Calling elf_compress_gnu on a section and then calling elf_compress on it to decompress it twice could cause a crash (the other way around is fine). Just disallow it. https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23528 elfutils packaging edits: - changelog hunk removed from original patch to avoid conflict Signed-off-by: Mark Wielaard <mark@klomp.org> --- libelf/elf_compress_gnu.c | 4 +++- libelf/libelf.h | 5 +++++ 3 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/libelf/elf_compress_gnu.c b/libelf/elf_compress_gnu.c index c35dc39..dfa7c57 100644 --- a/libelf/elf_compress_gnu.c +++ b/libelf/elf_compress_gnu.c @@ -80,7 +80,9 @@ elf_compress_gnu (Elf_Scn *scn, int inflate, unsigned int flags) sh_addralign = shdr->sh_addralign; } - if ((sh_flags & SHF_ALLOC) != 0) + /* Allocated sections, or sections that are already are compressed + cannot (also) be GNU compressed. */ + if ((sh_flags & SHF_ALLOC) != 0 || (sh_flags & SHF_COMPRESSED)) { __libelf_seterrno (ELF_E_INVALID_SECTION_FLAGS); return -1; diff --git a/libelf/libelf.h b/libelf/libelf.h index 61f1923..d11358c 100644 --- a/libelf/libelf.h +++ b/libelf/libelf.h @@ -366,6 +366,11 @@ extern Elf64_Chdr *elf64_getchdr (Elf_Scn *__scn); It is an error to request compression for a section that already has SHF_COMPRESSED set, or (for elf_compress) to request decompression for an section that doesn't have SHF_COMPRESSED set. + If a section has SHF_COMPRESSED set then calling elf_compress_gnu + will result in an error.
