[llvm-objcopy][ELF] --only-keep-debug: set offset/size of segments with no sections to zero
ClosedPublic

Authored by MaskRay on Apr 29 2021, 11:58 AM.

Details

Summary

PR50160: we currently ignore non-PT_PHDR segments with no sections, not
accounting for its p_offset and p_filesz: this can cause an out-of-bounds write
in writeSegmentData if the p_offset+p_filesz is larger than the total file
size.

This can be fixed by setting p_offset=p_filesz=0. The logic nicely unifies with
the logic added in D90897.

This change makes some sense to me in itself (IIRC GNU objcopy sets segment offsets to 0 for empty segments even without --only-keep-debug), but I don't think the test quite covers the same case as @rupprecht's bug report? In that report, the sections have been stripped. Maybe it doesn't matter, but maybe we need a separate test case for --strip-sections (or equivalent) followed separately by --only-keep-debug?

Any particular reason for the double blank line?

LGTM, but probably would be useful for someone else (especially @rupprecht) to take a quick look.
