Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] perf symbol-minimal: Fix ehdr reading in filename__read_build_id
Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2025 17:00:23 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250823000024.724394-2-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250823000024.724394-1-irogers@google.com>

The e_ident is part of the ehdr and so reading it a second time would
mean the read ehdr was displaced by 16-bytes. Switch from stdio to
open/read/lseek syscalls for similarity with the symbol-elf version of
the function and so that later changes can alter then open flags.

Fixes: fef8f648bb47 ("perf symbol: Fix use-after-free in filename__read_build_id")
