Hi all:
The issue occurred while reading an ELF file in libbpf.c during fuzzing
Using host libthread_db library "/usr/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".

then, I checked the code and found that 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;
Do sec_data and sec_name always occur together? Is it possible that scn_data is NULL but sec_name
is not NULL? libbpf uses sec_name to determine if it’s a null pointer, Maybe we should do some
check here.
