strings: remove section/file size check
This reverts most of 06803313754, 2005-07-05 Dmitry V. Levin change adding a check that section size doesn't exceed file size. As we've seen recently with mmo tests, decoded section size can easily exceed file size with formats that encode section data. I've also changed "strings" to use bfd_malloc_and_get_section, so that "strings" won't die on a malloc failure. I think it's better to continue on looking at other sections after failing to dump a section with fuzzed size. The testcases at https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5871 on a 32-bit host now produce $ strings -d --target=a.out-i386 /tmp/bfdkiller.dat strings: error: /tmp/bfdkiller.dat(.text) is too large (0xffffffff bytes) strings: /tmp/bfdkiller.dat: Reading section .text failed: Memory exhausted strings: /tmp/bfdkiller.dat: Reading section .data failed: File truncated org.ec $ strings -d --target=a.out-i386 /tmp/eclipse-state strings: /tmp/eclipse-state: Reading section .text failed: File truncated org.eclipse.osgi System Bundle [snip] * strings.c (filename_and_size_t): Delete. (strings_a_section): Don't check section size against file size. Use bdf_malloc_and_get_section. Report an error on failures. Replace arg param with filename and got_a_section param. (got_a_section): Move to.. (strings_object_file): ..an auto var here. Iterate over sections rather than calling bfd_map_over_sections. Adjust strings_a_section call.
