+Subject: [PATCH] PR22166, SHT_GNU_verneed memory allocation
+
+The sanity check covers the previous minimim size, plus that the size
+is at least enough for sh_info verneed entries.
+
+Also, since we write all verneed fields or exit with an error, there
+isn't any need to zero the memory allocated for verneed entries.

+        * elf.c (_bfd_elf_slurp_version_tables): Test sh_info on
+        SHT_GNU_verneed section for sanity.  Don't zalloc memory for
+        verref.
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport
+Affects: <= 2.29.1
+CVE: CVE-2017-14938
