+Subject: [PATCH] PR32109, aborting at bfd/bfd.c:1236 in int _bfd_doprnt
+
+Since bfd_section for .strtab isn't set, print the section index
+instead.  Also, don't return NULL on this error as that results in
+multiple mmap/read of the string table.  (We could return NULL if we
+arranged to set sh_size zero first, but just what we do with fuzzed
+object files is of no concern, and terminating the table might make a
+faulty object file usable.)
+
+	PR 32109
+	* elf.c (bfd_elf_get_str_section): Remove outdated comment, and
+	tweak shstrtabsize test to suit.  Don't use string tab bfd_section
+	in error message, use index instead.  Don't return NULL on
+	unterminated string section, terminate it.
+	(_bfd_elf_get_dynamic_symbols): Similarly terminate string table
+	section.
+
+[Backport note: Adapted for binutils 2.42. The upstream commit targets
+a newer codebase that uses _bfd_mmap_readonly_persistent and has an
+explicit unterminated-string error path with return NULL. In 2.42 the
+code uses _bfd_alloc_and_read with shstrtabsize+1 allocation and
+unconditionally null-terminates via shstrtab[shstrtabsize] = '\0'.
+Only the shstrtabsize overflow check fix applies here (shstrtabsize + 1 <= 1
+changed to shstrtabsize == 0). The second upstream hunk (DT_STRTAB
+error_return -> terminate) does not apply as 2.42 already
+unconditionally null-terminates the dynamic string table.]
