+Subject: soc: qcom: mdt_loader: Deal with zero e_shentsize
+
+From: Bjorn Andersson <bjorn.andersson@oss.qualcomm.com>
+
+commit 25daf9af0ac1bf12490b723b5efaf8dcc85980bc upstream.
+
+Firmware that doesn't provide section headers leave both e_shentsize and
+e_shnum 0, which obvious isn't compatible with the newly introduced
+stricter checks.
+
+Make the section-related checks conditional on either of these values
+being non-zero.
+
+Fixes: 9f9967fed9d0 ("soc: qcom: mdt_loader: Ensure we don't read past the ELF header")
