libelf: Free and clear rawdata_base and zdata_base consistently
There could be a leak if a program called elf_strptr on a compressed section, but the program never requests the (uncompressed) section data, but does explicitly (re)compress that same section data. Fix this by explicitly always freeing and clearing the zdata_base and rawdata_base in __libelf_reset_rawdata and elf_compress. Also clear zdata_base in elf_end so the pointer isn't indeterminate when it is being used in a later comparison against rawdata_base. * libelf/elf_compress.c (elf_compress): Explicitly free zdata_base before clearing. (__libelf_reset_rawdata): Free zdata_base if it isn't (going to be) used for rawdata_base. Explicitly clear rawdata_base and zdata_base after free. * libelf/elf_end.c (elf_end): Clear zdata_base after free. Signed-off-by: Mark Wielaard <mark@klomp.org>
