Description

Potential out-of-bounds read with a malformed ELF file and the HashTable API.

Affected versions of this crate only validated the index argument of

HashTable::get_bucket and HashTable::get_chain against the input-controlled

bucket_count and chain_count fields, but not against the size of the ELF

section. As a result, a malformed ELF file could trigger out-of-bounds reads in

a consumer of the HashTable API by setting these fields to inappropriately large

values that would fall outside the relevant hash table section, and by

introducing correspondingly out-of-bounds hash table indexes elsewhere in the ELF

file.
