Subject: [PATCH 2/2] libelf: Don't error out when sanity checking e_shoff if scncnt is zero.
Date: Wed, 04 Oct 2017 18:57:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1507143449-19288-2-git-send-email-mark@klomp.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1507143449-19288-1-git-send-email-mark@klomp.org>

We won't use the e_shoff value in that case because we will set
elf->state.elf[64|32].scns.cnt to zero to indicate not to read
any section header data from the file.
