Version: 2.29

Command: objdump -x -Wl -R -SD objdump_hoobr_bfd_elf_attr_strdup

Hi Kamil,

  Thanks for reporting this bug.  This was another case of buffer overrun
  due to an unterminated string.  I have checked in a small patch to the
  mainline and 2.29 branch in order to fix the problem.

Cheers
  Nick
