POC

Hi, there.

We are doing research on Fuzz testing. Our fuzzer caught an An Invalid memory address dereference problem in program objdump of the latest binutils(v2.31.1) code base, The POC file I gave can cause the segment faults and I have confirmed them with address sanitizer too.

Please use the "./objdump -xg -W $POC" to reproduce the bug. If you have any questions, please let me know.

    _bfd_clear_contents bounds checking
    
    This PR shows a fuzzed binary triggering a segfault via a bad
    relocation in .debug_line.  It turns out that unlike normal
    relocations applied to a section, the linker applies those with
    symbols from discarded sections via _bfd_clear_contents without
    checking that the relocation is within the section bounds.  The same
    thing now happens when reading debug sections since commit
    a4cd947aca23, the PR23425 fix.
    
    	PR 23770
    	PR 23425
    	* reloc.c (_bfd_clear_contents): Replace "location" param with
    	"buf" and "off".  Bounds check "off".  Return status.
    	* cofflink.c (_bfd_coff_generic_relocate_section): Update
    	_bfd_clear_contents call.

Fixed

Thanks for paying attention to this problem and fixing it in time.
This issue was raised by NTU Cyber-Security-Lab, for fuzzing research work.
