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

Hi Thuan,

  Thanks for the bug report.  You are right, this problem is fallout from the fix for 21135.  I have applied a patch to fix the problem, and I think that this time it should work. :-)

Cheers
  Nick
