Several relocations handlers in the BFD library have been updated to improve out-of-bounds access checks. This change addresses a security and stability concern (PR 34327) by ensuring that relocation offsets are validated against section boundaries, preventing potential assertion failures and segmentation faults across various architectures like ARM, MIPS, and SPU.
