But for a parallel backend service, this maybe a problem, because a crafted file can cause memory exhausted to cause other objdump instance to failed to process valid elf file. And it is not need to set hard limit for the number of program header, because program header count can not be bigger than (size_elf_file / size_program_heard), adding this limitation can also support the ELF spec fully. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
