Subject: [PATCH] libdw: check offset dwarf_formstring in all cases
Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2023 21:29:22 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231116212922.4148717-1-vvvvvv@google.com> (raw)

From: Aleksei Vetrov <vvvvvv@google.com>

This check was initially added to test if offset overflows the safe
prefix where any string will be null-terminated. However the check
was placed in a wrong place and didn't cover all `attrp->form` cases.

    * libdw/dwarf_formstring.c (dwarf_formstring): Move offset check
      right before returning the result.
