commit b0b93f3592f3d165896e8dc8186a7ba285f0f3e4
Author: Nick Clifton <nickc@redhat.com>
Date:   Fri Oct 31 10:21:57 2014 +0000

    Import a security patch from the mainline which changes the default behaviour
    of the strings program to be --all rather then --data.  This avoids using the
    BFD library by default, and so avoids exposing strings to any memory bugs
    present in BFD.
    
    	* strings.c: Add new command line option --data to only scan the
    	initialized, loadable data secions of binaries.  Choose the
    	default behaviour of --all or --data based upon a configure
    	option.
    	* doc/binutils.texi (strings): Update documentation.  Include
    	description  of why the --data option might be unsafe.
    	* configure.ac: Add new option --disable-default-strings-all which
    	restores the old behaviour of strings using --data by default.  If
    	the option is not used make strings use --all by default.
    	* NEWS: Mention the new behaviour of strings.
    	* configure: Regenerate.
    	* config.in: Regenerate.
