PR22307, Heap out of bounds read in _bfd_elf_parse_gnu_properties
When adding an unbounded increment to a pointer, you can't just check against the end of the buffer but also must check that overflow doesn't result in "negative" pointer movement. Pointer comparisons are signed. Better, check the increment against the space left using an unsigned comparison. PR 22307 * elf-properties.c (_bfd_elf_parse_gnu_properties): Compare datasz against size left rather than comparing pointers. Reorganise loop.
