When sysfs__read_build_id() matches NT_GNU_BUILD_ID with the right
namesz but the name content is not "GNU", it falls back to reading
descsz bytes into the stack buffer bf[BUFSIZ]:
} else if (read(fd, bf, descsz) != (ssize_t)descsz)
Unlike the else branch which validates namesz + descsz against
sizeof(bf), this path passes descsz directly to read() without any
bounds check. A crafted sysfs file with a large n_descsz overflows
the 8192-byte stack buffer.
Add a descsz > sizeof(bf) check before the read, breaking out of
the loop on oversized values.
