Crashing input

Dear all,

This bug was found with AFLGo, a directed version of AFL/AFLFast. Thanks also to Marcel Böhme. 

This bug was found on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit & binutils was checked out from main repository at git://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git. Its commit is 61697d017e114d7667fbb340fb73f8184d48ee5a (Tue Feb 14 00:00:30 2017) 

binutils was built with ASAN using gcc-6.2 and clang-3.4. The configure command was:

CC=clang CFLAGS="-DFORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector-all -fsanitize=undefined,address -fno-omit-frame-pointer -g -Wno-error" ../configure --disable-shared --disable-gdb --disable-libdecnumber --disable-readline --disable-sim

objdump -g objdump_bug_1

    	PR binutils/21157
    	* stabs.c (parse_stab_enum_type): Check for corrupt NAME:VALUE
    	pairs.
    	(parse_number): Exit early if passed an empty string.
Comment 2 Nick Clifton 2017-02-14 14:11:41 UTC
Hi Thuan,

  Thanks for reporting this bug.  I have checked in a patch to fix the problem.

  The problem is with the BFD library's handling of STABS debug information,
  which was written a long time ago and without security in mind.  The 
  applied patch fixes the specific point of failure triggered by your
  testcase, but I suspect that there will be more to come in the future...

Cheers
  Nick
