[PATCH 0/4] bfd: Add support for Cygwin x86_64 core dumps

[Nick Clifton]

Hi Jon,

The patch series looks fine to me apart from one thing:

>From patch 2/4:

  -  if (note->descsz < 728)
  -    return TRUE;

Without this check it will be possible for a corrupt core file
to trigger invalid reads beyond the end of the note section.
(Binary fuzzers love triggering this kind of bug).  So I think
that everywhere you read data from a note you should make sure
that there actually is data present first.

Cheers
