ClosedPublic

Authored by grimar on Jul 2 2020, 4:34 AM.

Details

Summary

We might crash when the dynamic symbols table is empty and --hash-symbols
is requested. Both .hash and .gnu.hash logic is affected.

The patch fixes this issue.

to produce -> return

(I think it reads cleaner that way. It would be just "produce" anyway).

I'm not sure if this does this, but I think we need to distinguish between the dynsym being actually empty (i.e. sh_size == 0 specified by the .dynsym section header) and we just don't know it's empty (i.e. there's no section header at all, but there is a DT_SYMTAB tag). See rGb259ce99 for context. If this code already does that, what in the test ensures we haven't broken this situation? I'm having a bit of a struggle remembering how that change worked, so this might not be relevant at all.

dynamic_symbols returns an empty range for both cases when either there is no DynSymRegion at all or when it is found, but empty:

Elf_Sym_Range dynamic_symbols() const {
  if (!DynSymRegion)
    return Elf_Sym_Range();
  return DynSymRegion->getAsArrayRef<Elf_Sym>();
}

To distinguish between these cases we can additionally check the DynSymRegion when reporting a warning. I've did it and added test cases.
