I guess we could, but I thought it's too big for stable

we'd need following 2 changes to fix the issue:
  de3ec364c3c3 lib/buildid: add single folio-based file reader abstraction
  60c845b4896b lib/buildid: take into account e_phoff when fetching program headers

and there's also few other follow ups:
  5ac9b4e935df lib/buildid: Handle memfd_secret() files in build_id_parse()
  cdbb44f9a74f lib/buildid: don't limit .note.gnu.build-id to the first page in ELF
  ad41251c290d lib/buildid: implement sleepable build_id_parse() API
  45b8fc309654 lib/buildid: rename build_id_parse() into build_id_parse_nofault()
  4e9d360c4cdf lib/buildid: remove single-page limit for PHDR search

which I guess are not strictly needed
