Triggered by "./objdump -x $POC"
Tested on Ubuntu 16.04 (x86)


Integer overflow is occurring when checking size of debug directory of the PE format binary file.


The GDB debugging information is as follows:

(gdb) r -x $POC

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

    Fix illegal memory access triggered when parsing a PE binary with a corrupt data dictionary.
    
    	PR 22373
    	* peicode.h (pe_bfd_read_buildid): Check for invalid size and data
    	offset values.

Hi Mingi,

  Thank you for reporting this bug, and for providing a patch as well.

  I have checked in a variant of your patch, since it occurred to me
  that the dataoff value might also be excessively large, and this
  would not have been caught by either the original code or your patch.

Cheers
  Nick
