Sat 29 Jan 2022 09:19:31 AM UTC, original submission:  

The file command (and the grub-file utility) tries to dereference a null pointer when a file without valid ELF header is tested by one of the knetbsd tests:


$ grub-file --is-x86-knetbsd 0002-commands-file-Fix-null-dereference.patch
[1]    568023 segmentation fault (core dumped)  grub-file --is-x86-knetbsd 0002-commands-file-Fix-null-dereference.patch


The supplied patch fixes this and also serves as an example file to reproduce the error (even though any file without a valid ELF header should suffice).
