Reuse of cached stack can cause bounds overrun of thread DTV
Issue
The bug affects any software with high number of dynamic shared objects (DSOs) with TLS segments, and a high number of such libraries must be loaded via dlopen() during application execution. This exceeds the initial length of dynamic thread vector (DTV) causing ld.so (dynamic loader) to write out-of-bounds to DTV.
