Bug ID: 34831
Summary: GNU ld applies an R_X86_64_NONE relocation through a
null contents pointer
Product: binutils
Version: 2.47
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: ld

I'm reporting this bug on behalf of my team: Ananta Srikar Puranam, Emily West,
Dr. Swarn Priya, Dr. Peng Gao and Dr. Basavesh Ammanaghatta Shivakumar.
Summary
=======
A crafted x86-64 ET_REL with R_X86_64_NONE records targeting a zero-sized
.preinit_array makes current and released ASan/UBSan GNU ld abort in
_bfd_final_link_relocate at bfd/reloc.c:1196 by evaluating NULL + 0; the
valid-relocation control links cleanly.
Reproduction
============
1. Download and extract
`bfd-none-relocation-null-pointer-arithmetic-reproducer.tar.gz`.
2. Run the following command with an ld.bfd or all-target `ld-new` binary that
supports the emulation used by the reproducer:
LD_BFD=/path/to/ld-new sh repro.sh
The archive contains the fixed input files, independent controls, helper
scripts needed by `repro.sh`, and their checksums. The script uses a temporary
directory and does not modify the source tree.
Observed result
===============
A crafted x86-64 ET_REL with R_X86_64_NONE records targeting a zero-sized
.preinit_array makes current and released ASan/UBSan GNU ld abort in
_bfd_final_link_relocate at bfd/reloc.c:1196 by evaluating NULL + 0; the
valid-relocation control links cleanly.
Expected result
===============
GNU ld should either produce the correct output or reject the input with a
normal diagnostic. It should not crash, hang, execute undefined behavior, read
outside an input-derived allocation, or produce the described malformed
output.
