Subject: [PATCH] elf: Initialize libc_map to NULL on namespace creation
Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2022 21:43:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87mtbt5sxi.fsf@oldenburg.str.redhat.com> (raw)

It seems that a stale libc_map value will be used (and not
overwritten) by a dlmopen after a dlclose that has deallocated
the namespace.  This may not be visible easily because the libc
link map can be allocated at the same address.

Fixes commit ec935dea6332cb22f9881cd1162bad156173f4b0 ("elf:
Implement __libc_early_init").
