Put bfd_section_from_shdr loop detection array in elf_tdata
The static variables used by bfd_section_from_shdr to detect loops in ELF sections have a problem: Comparing a BFD pointer doesn't guarantee that the current bfd is the same as the one previously used to allocate the sections_being_created array. For example, doing size bad_elf_1 bad_elf_2 with two corrupted ELF files containing section loops will leave the section_being_created array allocated for the first file and since bfd_close is called for bad_elf_1 before bfd_elf_2 is opened, it is possible that the BFD for the second file is allocated in the same memory as the first file. If bad_elf_2 has more sections than bad_elf_1 then we might write beyond the end of the array. So this patch implements the FIXME Nick put in a comment about attaching the array to the BFD. * elf-bfd.h (struct elf_obj_tdata): Add being_created. * elf.c (bfd_section_from_shdr): Delete static vars for loop detection. Use new tdata variable instead. * elfcode.h (elf_object_p): Allocate being_created.
