From 8e1472d2c1e25e6eabc2059170731365f6d5b3d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Weimer Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2017 20:04:13 +0100 Subject: ld.so: Examine GLRO to detect inactive loader [BZ #20204] GLRO (_rtld_global_ro) is read-only after initialization and can therefore not be patched at run time, unlike the hook table addresses and their contents, so this is a desirable hardening feature. The hooks are only needed if ld.so has not been initialized, and this happens only after static dlopen (dlmopen uses a single ld.so object across all namespaces).
