input files and crash logs

I would like to submit information about crashes in "GNU as" we've found. All crashes are caused by corrupted files (attached).

There are many of them, so we've tried to group them for easier analysis (look at point 4).

Found by: Mateusz Kocielski, Michal Dardas from LogicalTrust

1. Used machine
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz
Ram: 8 GB
OS: Kali Linux, 4.17.0-kali1-amd64
gcc version 8.1.0 (Debian 8.1.0-12)

2. Compilation process
# git clone --depth 1 git://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git
# cd binutils-gdb
# LDFLAGS="-lasan" LDADD="-lasan" CFLAGS="-fsanitize=address -ggdb -O0" ./configure --enable-targets=all
# make -j4
# cd gas

    make -j4 ; \
    cp as-new as-$arch ; \
done \

3. "as" version
# for as in $(ls as-*); do echo "Binary: $as"; echo `./$as --version | grep ass`; done

4. Crashes
There are 22 directories which names are related to a line of code at which a crash occurred. Every directory contains files using following convention:
crash_{binary-name}_{test-case} - crash from ASAN
{test-case} - test case file. To reproduce run as (in corresponding architecture): ./as {test-case}
for example, directory ini386_output_nopsconfig_tc-i386.c:1302 contains files:
crash_as-i386_nop-1.s_1000066.out.min - ASAN log, to reproduce: # as-i386 nop-1.s_1000066.out.min
crash_as-i386_nop-6.s_i386_2750877559.out.min - ASAN log, to reproduce: # as-i386 nop-6.s_i386_2750877559.out.min
crash_as-x86_64_nop-1.s_1000066.out.min - ASAN log, to reproduce: # as-x86_64 nop-1.s_1000066.out.min
crash_as-x86_64_nop-6.s_i386_2750877559.out.min - ASAN log, to reproduce: # as-x86_64 nop-6.s_i386_2750877559.out.min
nop-1.s_1000066.out.min - test case
nop-6.s_i386_2750877559.out.min - test case

Hi mtest1,

  Thank you very much for reporting these bugs.

  I have applied a patch to address most of the problems, but I
  was unable to reproduce one of them: 

    ini386_intel_simplify_registerconfig_tc-i386-intel.c:289

  Please could you check to see if it is still causing you problems ?

Cheers
  Nick

Hi Nick!

 We've just tried this testcase and it's still causing problems:

 Likely the problem is here:

289		   && (i386_regtab[reg_num].reg_type.bitfield.xmmword
(gdb) print reg_num
$1 = 65534

 Somehow X_md egt 65535 value:

(gdb) print *e
$2 = {X_add_symbol = 0x0, X_op_symbol = 0x0, X_add_number = 0, X_op = O_constant, X_unsigned = 0, X_extrabit = 0, X_md = 65535}

 thus i386_regtab[reg_num] is accessing table far after its end:

 (gdb) print i386_regtab_size 
 $3 = 281

 Let us know if you need more assistance.

 Good luck!

Proposed patch

Hi mtest1,

  Ah - yes - I know why I could not reproduce this problem now ...  There is
  a long standing problem with Fedora which makes it impossible to build
  32-bit binaries with address sanitization enabled.  So my i386-elf toolchain
  actually has 64-bit executables in it rather than 32-bit ones.

  Please could you try out the uploaded patch and let me know if it resolves
  the problem ?  It may not work however as all it does is to (try to) stop 
  the illegal memory access inside i386_intel_simplify_register().  It does
  not address the underlying problem of why an illegal register number was
  being used in the first place.

Cheers
  Nick

I don't see any such patch applied or posted?

Hello Nick,

 your patch fixed the problem:

Hi Nick,

After this commit, I'm seeing:
UNRESOLVED: objcopy (verilog data width)

The error message is:
Assembler messages:
Error: can't open /testsuite/binutils-all/verilogtest.s for reading: No such file or directory
assembler exited with status 1

Hi Chris,

> UNRESOLVED: objcopy (verilog data width)

Doh!  (Stupid .gitignore...)  OK, this should now be fixed.
Thanks for letting me know about it.

Cheers
