SHT_RELR sh_link and sh_info
I don't think it makes any sense for a SHT_RELR section to specify a symbol table with sh_link. SHT_RELR relocations don't use symbols. There is no real need to specify sh_info either, SHT_RELR is not for relocatable object files. Anyway, fuzzers of course don't restrict themselves to even half-sensible objects. So they found a hole in objcopy using a non-alloc SHT_RELR in an ET_EXEC. In that case BFD set up the SHT_RELR section as if it were a SHT_REL against the sh_info target section. When it came to reading in the target section relocs, the count was horribly wrong which caused a buffer overflow. * elf.c (bfd_section_from_shdr <SHT_RELR>): Always just make a normal section, don't treat it as a reloc section.
