[ Upstream commit fc3a5534e2a8855427403113cbeb54af5837bbe0 ]

An issue occurred while reading an ELF file in libbpf.c during fuzzing:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

scn_data was null at this code(tools/lib/bpf/src/libbpf.c):

if (rel->r_offset % BPF_INSN_SZ || rel->r_offset >= scn_data->d_size) {

The scn_data is derived from the code above:

scn = elf_sec_by_idx(obj, sec_idx);
scn_data = elf_sec_data(obj, scn);

relo_sec_name = elf_sec_str(obj, shdr->sh_name);
sec_name = elf_sec_name(obj, scn);
if (!relo_sec_name || !sec_name)// don't check whether scn_data is NULL
return -EINVAL;

In certain special scenarios, such as reading a malformed ELF file,
it is possible that scn_data may be a null pointer
