This update enhances readelf’s ability to process ELF files by accurately counting DT_RELR relocations using dynamic tags when section headers are unavailable. It also adds validation for section header offsets and sizes, preventing segfaults caused by out-of-range values. A side effect is the display of warnings for ignored invalid section data.
