+Subject: [PATCH] PR22307, Heap out of bounds read in
+ _bfd_elf_parse_gnu_properties
+
+When adding an unbounded increment to a pointer, you can't just check
+against the end of the buffer but also must check that overflow
+doesn't result in "negative" pointer movement. Pointer comparisons
+are signed. Better, check the increment against the space left using
+an unsigned comparison.
+
+ PR 22307
+ * elf-properties.c (_bfd_elf_parse_gnu_properties): Compare datasz
+ against size left rather than comparing pointers. Reorganise loop.
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport
+Affects: <= 2.29.1
+CVE: CVE-2017-16829
