So yes, I've debugged this and it is possible to get `None` for `EntSize` when `sh_entsize == 0`.
(I've used the YAML below).

```
--- !ELF
FileHeader:
  Class: ELFCLASS64
  Data:  ELFDATA2LSB
  Type:  ET_EXEC
Sections:
  - Name:   .debug_str
    Type:    SHT_PROGBITS
    EntSize: 0
    Size:    10
    ShFlags: 0
```

When there are no flags, we have 'None` for `Flags`.
