gdb/corelow.c: fix use-after-free in build_file_mappings
In core_target::build_file_mappings, GDB tries to open files referenced in the core dump. The process goes like this: struct bfd *bfd = bfd_map[filename]; if (bfd == nullptr) { bfd = bfd_map[filename] = bfd_openr (expanded_fname.get (), "binary"); if (bfd == nullptr || !bfd_check_format (bfd, bfd_object)) { if (bfd != nullptr) bfd_close (bfd); return; } } asection *sec = bfd_make_section_anyway (bfd, "load"); ... The problem is that if bfd_check_format fails, we close the bfd but keep a reference to it in the bfd_map. If the same filename appears another time in the NT_FILE note, we enter this code again. The second time, bfd_map[filename] is not nullptr and we try to call bfd_make_section_anyway on an already closed BFD, which is a use-after-free error. This patch makes sure that the bfd is only saved in the bfd_map if it got opened successfully. This error got exposed by a recent change in BFD (014a602b "Don't optimise bfd_seek to same position"). Since this change, opening a coredump which contains mapping to some special files such as a DRI render node (/dev/dri/renderD$NUM) exposes the issue. This happens for example for processes using AMDGPU devices to offload compute tasks. Reviewed-By:John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> Approved-By:
