Description of problem: The introduction of GNU Property Notes (a new ELF_T_NHDR8 type) added extra robustness checks. When those failed no part of an ELF Note would be converted (from big/little endian). This impacts code, like rpmbuild debugedit, which only try to convert the header, but no other part of the ELF Note. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): - elfutils-0.176-1 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Take an different endian ELF file (say ppc64 on x86_64, or x86_64 on s390x) with a build-id ELF Note in it. 2. Run /usr/lib/rpm/debugedit -i <file> on it Actual results: - No build-id printed. Expected results: - build-id printed. Additional info: Upstream patch: https://sourceware.org/ml/elfutils-devel/2019-q2/msg00049.html
Patch added to Fedora elfutils-0.176-2.fc31
