Subject: [PATCH 4/7] libelf: Check for NULL shdr in elf_strptr.
Date: Sun, 10 May 2020 21:53:37 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200510195339.37191-5-mark@klomp.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200510195339.37191-1-mark@klomp.org>

GCC10 -fanalyzer with -flto notices __elf64_getshdr_rdlock can fail
and because the result isn't checked in elf_strptr it can cause a
dereference of NULL.
