PR22443, Global buffer overflow in _bfd_elf_get_symbol_version_string
Symbols like *ABS* defined in bfd/section.c:global_syms are not elf_symbol_type. They can appear on relocs and perhaps other places in an ELF bfd, so a number of places in nm.c and objdump.c are wrong to cast an asymbol based on the bfd being ELF. I think we lose nothing by excluding all section symbols, not just the global_syms. PR 22443 * nm.c (sort_symbols_by_size): Don't attempt to access section symbol internal_elf_sym. (print_symbol): Likewise. Don't call bfd_get_symbol_version_string for section symbols. * objdump.c (compare_symbols): Don't attempt to access section symbol internal_elf_sym. (objdump_print_symname): Don't call bfd_get_symbol_version_string for section symbols.
