+Subject: [PATCH] PR 34053 buffer overflow in xcoff_link_add_symbols
+
+This patch adds two sanity checks with error reporting in
+xcoff_link_add_symbols before reading symbol aux entries, add extends
+assertions in later functions.  A whole lot of unnecessary casts are
+also tidied.
+
+       PR 34053
+       * xcofflink.c: Remove unnecessary casts throughout.
+       (xcoff_link_add_symbols): Sanity check aux entries are within
+       symbol buffer.
+       (bfd_xcoff_build_dynamic_sections): Assert the above is true.
+       (xcoff_link_input_bfd): Likewise.
