When getting section headers it is assumed that the first section

first section list only contains the zeroth section, in which
case either illegal memory access occurs or elf_nextscn()
erroneously returns NULL.
With this patch, checks are added to avoid the illegal memory
access and (if available) the second section list is looked at
to find the first section.
Both changes to updatenull and nextscn do make sense to me.
I assume this wasn't just theoretical? I didn't immediately see how this
situation occurs. Do you happen to have an example/testcase?
Thanks,
