Describe the bug
A bad elf file which can lead elf_open_object() to a heap-buffer-overflow(read) issue.
Poc here:
poc1.zip

To Reproduce

  1. Build the whole project with ASAN
  2. Run examples/elfparse
$ ./elfparse ./overflow

Expected behavior
The code snippet where the issue happened should avoid the out-bounds read operation.

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • System and Version : Ubuntu 18.04 + gcc 7.5.0
  • Target file: examples/elfparse
  • libelfmaster commit version: 03b7170

Additional context
ASAN says:
