[Bug dynamic-link/20105] bad version variable in elf_dynamic_do_Rel() elf/do-rel.h (2.23) causes coredump in dl-machine.h elf_machine_rela()

--- Comment #12 from Jason Vas Dias <jason.vas.dias at gmail dot com> ---
Aha! An interesting thing about that link map I uploaded : 
it appears that OpenOffice-4.1.2 is an application that 
goes through several stages during initialization :
1. It generates a vast list of potentially linkable libraries, and
   attempts to dl_load() each one ;
2. It then decides which ones it needs, and unloads those it does not .
This is the wrong way round, IMHO .
But nevertheless, getting it past stage 1 does prove instructive in 
exposing glibc bad pointer vulnerabilities.
