Created binutils tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1680658]

Text from CVE-2019-9071 was copied here by mistake. The correct summary and reference are as follows: (as taken from NIST)

An issue was discovered in GNU libiberty, as distributed in GNU Binutils 2.32. It is a stack consumption issue in d_count_templates_scopes in cp-demangle.c after many recursive calls.

Reference:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=89394

Recurses inside d_count_templates_scopes for a very long time. I upped the stack size dramatically and never got it to finish without segfaulting.

```

   │4126                                    d_left (dc));                                                             │

   │4128                                    d_right (dc));                                                            │
   │4129          break;

Here's dc contents:

```
(gdb) print dc
$1 = (const struct demangle_component *) 0x7fffffffdce0
(gdb) print *dc
$2 = {type = DEMANGLE_COMPONENT_TYPED_NAME, d_printing = 0, u = {s_name = {s = 0x7fffffffdad0 "", len = -9016},
    s_operator = {op = 0x7fffffffdad0}, s_extended_operator = {args = -9520, name = 0x7fffffffdcc8}, s_fixed = {
      length = 0x7fffffffdad0, accum = -9016, sat = -1}, s_ctor = {kind = 4294957776, name = 0x7fffffffdcc8},
    s_dtor = {kind = 4294957776, name = 0x7fffffffdcc8}, s_builtin = {type = 0x7fffffffdad0}, s_string = {
      string = 0x7fffffffdad0 "", len = -9016}, s_number = {number = 140737488345808}, s_character = {
      character = -9520}, s_binary = {left = 0x7fffffffdad0, right = 0x7fffffffdcc8}, s_unary_num = {
      sub = 0x7fffffffdad0, num = -9016}}}
```

len = -9016. Wondering if we're getting an overflow/underflow somewhere here leading to the large recursion.

Actually that is a red herring.  The len field is only used in some of the
entries in the demangle_component union, and in particular it is not used
for entries that need left/right recursion.

I think that the actual problem is that the testcase is just pathalogical.
It is encoded as if it had a ridiculously large number of nested templates.

I have proposed a patch on the gcc mailing list, which I hope will be accepted:

  https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2019-03/msg01048.html

If this goes in (to the FSF gcc sources) then I will copy it to Fedora rawhide.

Oh - just to be clear - I mean that I will copy it into the rawhide binutils, 
not the rawhide gcc.  I will leave updating gcc to the gcc maintainers.
