[Bug dynamic-link/14370] ld.so crashes on mismatched TLS/non-TLS symbols


http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14370

--- Comment #19 from Rich Felker <bugdal at aerifal dot cx> 2012-09-04 22:15:31 UTC ---
There is an infinite family of ways a bad/invalid/malicious/corrupt DSO can
cause the dynamic linker to crash. Any bug of the form "dynamic linker crashes
when fed an invalid DSO" should be considered invalid unless there's a strong
argument to the contrary. The DSO in question was not built with old binutils
or glibc; it was built with nonsensical, nondefault options and symbols that
conflict with symbols in the standard library, which is a very bad form of
undefined behavior.
