Subject: [PATCH] readelf: Fix bounds check in print_form_data.
Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2018 00:18:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1528676283-13515-1-git-send-email-mark@klomp.org> (raw)

The afl fuzzer found that we did a wrong check in print_form_data when
comparing the remaining bytes in the buffer to an (unsigned) value read.
We were casting the value to ptrdiff_t which is a signed value and so
might turn a really big unsigned value into a negative number. Since we
know the difference between readendp and readp is zero or greater, we
should cast the pointer difference to size_t (and unsigned type) instead
before comparing with the unsigned value.
