From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> The bounds-checking and nr_entry clamping added for the byte-swap path only runs when jd->needs_bswap is true. On native-endian files, nr_entry passes through unvalidated to jit_repipe_debug_info(), which stores it as jd->nr_debug_entries. Downstream, jit_process_debug_info() in genelf_debug.c iterates nr_debug_entries times via debug_entry_next(), which calls strlen() on each entry's name field — a crafted nr_entry causes OOB reads and writes. Add bounds-checked iteration in jit_repipe_debug_info() that validates each debug_entry fits in the payload and its name is NUL-terminated before calling debug_entry_next(). Clamp nr_debug_entries to the count of valid entries.
