# Analysis

`src_ptr[0]` is accessed[1], which is only ensured to be smaller than `ptr + rec_length`. However, `rec_length` can be controlled by file content[2] and can be larger than actual buffer size. Therefore, out-of-bound read can occur.

            * vms-alpha.c (parse_module): Make length param bfd_size_type.
            Delete length == -1 checks.  Sanity check record_length.
            Sanity check DST__K_MODBEG, DST__K_RTNBEG, DST__K_RTNEND lengths.
            Sanity check DST__K_SOURCE and DST__K_LINE_NUM elements
            before accessing.
            (build_module_list): Pass dst_section size to parse_module.
