Subject: linux-user: Use correct types in load_symbols()
X-Git-Tag: v2.9.0-rc2~143^2~1
X-Git-Url: https://git.proxmox.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1e06262da615fcc0ddd658f96c5673a73b856fb6;p=mirror_qemu.git

linux-user: Use correct types in load_symbols()

Coverity doesn't like the code in load_symbols() which assumes
it can use 'int' for a variable that might hold an offset into
the guest ELF file, because in a 64-bit guest that could
overflow. Guest binaries with 2GB sections aren't very likely
and this isn't a security issue because we fully trust the
guest linux-user binary anyway, but we might as well use the
right types, which will placate Coverity. Use uint64_t to
hold section sizes, and bail out if the symbol table is too
large rather than just overflowing an int.

(Coverity issue CID1005776)
