Yash Shinde 1e47fd8e44 binutils: Fix CVE-2024-53589
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in GNU Binutils’ objdump utility
when processing tekhex format files. The vulnerability occurs in the
Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library’s tekhex parser during format identification.
Specifically, the issue manifests when attempting to read 8 bytes at an address
that precedes the global variable ‘_bfd_std_section’, resulting in an out-of-bounds read.

Backport a patch from upstream to fix CVE-2024-53589.

Re: tekhex object file output fixes
Commit 8b5a212495 supported *ABS* symbols by allowing "section" to be
bfd_abs_section, but bfd_abs_section needs to be treated specially.
In particular, bfd_get_next_section_by_name (.., bfd_abs_section_ptr)
is invalid.

* tekhex.c (first_phase): Guard against modification of
_bfd_std_section[] entries.
