From: Cody P Schafer <[email protected]>
If we call elf_section_by_name() with a truncated elf image (ie: the
file header indicates that the section headers are placed past the end
of the file), elf_strptr() causes a segfault within libelf.
Avoid this by checking that we can access the section string table
properly.
Should really be fixed in libelf/elfutils.
