--- Comment #1 from Mark Wielaard <mjw at redhat dot com> ---
Nice find. The issue is with notes that have a zero sized name (and also no
descriptor data at the end of a note section).

"The system reserves note information with no name (namesz==0) and with a
zero-length name (name[0]=='\0') but currently defines no types. All other
names must have at least one non-null character."

So we must explicitly check for namesz == 0 before using the name data in the
note.
