Subject: [PATCH v2] fs: binfmt_elf: Add ELF header consistency checks
Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2013 21:34:31 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1384994071-12283-1-git-send-email-geyslan@gmail.com> (raw)

The member 'e_ehsize' that holds the ELF header size is compared
with the elfhdr struct size. If not equal, goes out.
If 'e_phoff' holds 0 the object has no program header table, so
goes out.
Ensures the file being loaded has the correct data encoding, checking
'e_ident[EI_DATA]' against 'ELF_DATA'.

Besides the checks being in accordance with the ELF Specifications,
they increase the binary consistency reducing the use of malformed ones.
