[Stable-7.2.9 09/20] load_elf: fix iterator's type for elf file processing
Posted by Michael Tokarev 9 months, 3 weeks ago
From: Anastasia Belova <abelova@astralinux.ru>

j is used while loading an ELF file to byteswap segments'
data. If data is larger than 2GB an overflow may happen.
So j should be elf_word.

This commit fixes a minor bug: it's unlikely anybody is trying to
load ELF files with 2GB+ segments for wrong-endianness targets,
but if they did, it wouldn't work correctly.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
