+Subject: [PATCH] libelf: Handle elf_strptr on section without any data
+
+In the unlikely situation that elf_strptr was called on a section with
+sh_size already set, but that doesn't have any data yet we could crash
+trying to verify the string to return.
+
+This could happen for example when a new section was created with
+elf_newscn, but no data having been added yet.
+
+        * libelf/elf_strptr.c (elf_strptr): Check strscn->rawdata_base
+        is not NULL.
