Author: Nick Clifton <address@hidden>

    This patch closes a potential security hole in applications that use
    the bfd library to parse binaries containing maliciously corrupt section
    group headers.

        PR binutils/17510
        * elf.c (setup_group): Improve handling of corrupt group
        sections.
