Subject: XCOFF archive sanity check
Date: Sun, 19 Mar 2023 22:23:04 +1030	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ZBb3oOZ4J35lf6nK@squeak.grove.modra.org> (raw)

XCOFF archive elements are in a linked list.  Add a little more sanity
checking.  This of course doesn't stop the fuzzers finding a way to
make a loop, but this check is cheap.

	* coff-rs6000.c (_bfd_xcoff_openr_next_archived_file): Sanity
	check that next element isn't pointing back to the header.
