Sure. But where they come from in practice speaks to whether we actually want to try to support them (about which I'm somewhat dubious) or whether we just need to be robust to their presence as bogus input. > Does the code correctly treat the "end of the section" values as being > pre-compression vs. post-compression? I can't quite parse exactly what you're asking here. But the answer you're probably looking for is that the check I mentioned is based on the size of the ELF section data that the reloc would be applied to (what appears in the file). So it is correct in the sense that it is checking the sanity of what it would actually do (which would be to try to apply the reloc to the compressed data) and thus there is, as I said, no possibility of the "clobber something outside the section" notion that you asked about.
