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

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.
EDIT: The patch has been committed, see below.

The complete ASan output:
