elfutils: memory allocation failure in __libelf_set_rawdata_wrlock (elf_getdata.c)

If it is suitable for a CVE please assign one. Thanks.

Description:
elfutils is a set of libraries/utilities to handle ELF objects (drop in 
replacement for libelf).

During the fuzz of libdwarf, I noticed a memory allocation failure which 
involves elfutils.
To have a double-check, the bug was first reported to the libdwarf maintainer 
and then to the elfutils maintainer. Actually there is a proposed patch on the 
elfutils mailing list, but nobody commented.

The complete ASan output:

# dwarfdump $FILE
