From 8e28aa3a51bf0ef3683f2aed4b5b448744897b66 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fangrui Song Date: Mon, 2 May 2022 09:06:39 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] elf: Remove fallback to the start of DT_STRTAB for dladdr When neither DT_HASH nor DT_GNU_HASH is present, the code scans [DT_SYMTAB, DT_STRTAB). However, there is no guarantee that .dynstr immediately follows .dynsym (e.g. lld typically places .gnu.version after .dynsym). In the absence of a hash table, symbol lookup will always fail (map->l_nbuckets == 0 in dl-lookup.c) as if the object has no symbol, so it seems fair for dladdr to do the same.
