Subject: bug#20264: [PATCH] fix: w32_executable_type() causes a segmentation fault
Date: Mon, 06 Apr 2015 12:23:23 +0900 (=?UTF-8?Q?=E6=9D=B1=E4=BA=AC?= (=?UTF-8?Q?=E6=A8=99=E6=BA=96=E6=99=82?=))	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150406.122323.240448317693586769.arakawa@pp.iij4u.or.jp> (raw)

Hi folks,

On Windows platform, w32_executable_type() in src/w32proc.c scans
'dllname' in an EXE file. But there are some strange EXE files that
'dllname' points to an illegal address, for example, Microsoft's Excel
(excel.exe) and PowerPoint (POWEPNT.EXE). w32_executable_type() causes
a segmentation fault for those files.

objdump in binutils seems to know those illegal pointers and discard
them (pe_print_idata() in bfd/peXXigen.c).

In the following patch, 'dllname' is checked whether it points to the
valid section's address space and discarded when it's invalid.

Regards,
Koichi Arakawa
