gdb/dwarf2read.c: Sanity check DW_AT_sibling values.
When reading objects with corrupt debug information it is possible that the sibling chain can form a loop, which leads to an infinite loop and memory exhaustion. Avoid this situation by disregarding and DW_AT_sibling values that point to a lower address than the current entry. gdb/ChangeLog: 2013-11-06 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org> PR gdb/12866 * dwarf2read.c (skip_one_die): Sanity check DW_AT_sibling values. (read_partial_die): Likewise.
