[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH 09/16] libelf: check nul-terminated strings properly
It is not safe to simply take pointers into the ELF and use them as C
pointers. They might not be properly nul-terminated (and the pointers
might be wild).
So we are going to introduce a new function elf_strval for safely
getting strings. This will check that the addresses are in range and
that there is a proper nul-terminated string. Of course it might
discover that there isn't. In that case, it will be made to fail.
This means that elf_note_name might fail, too.
For the benefit of call sites which are just going to pass the value
to a printf-like function, we provide elf_strfmt which returns
"(invalid)" on failure rather than NULL.
In this patch we introduce dummy definitions of these functions. We
introduce calls to elf_strval and elf_strfmt everywhere, and update
all the call sites with appropriate error checking.
There is not yet any semantic change, since before this patch all the
places where we introduce elf_strval dereferenced the value anyway, so
it mustn't have been NULL.
In future patches, when elf_strval is made able return NULL, when it
does so it will mark the elf "broken" so that an appropriate
diagnostic can be printed.
