Subject: [PATCH] readelf: Handle NULL phdr in handle_dynamic_symtab
A corrupt ELF file can have broken program headers, in which case
gelf_getphdr returns NULL. This could crash handle_dynamic_symtab
while searching for the PT_DYNAMIC phdr. Fix this by checking whether
gelf_phdr returns NULL.
* src/readelf.c (handle_dynamic_symtab): Check whether
gelf_getphdr returns NULL.
