Here's a minor bug fix for the ELF exec code (at least 2.2-2.3.99 etc).
The basic idea is that there's a check for an ELF file with more than one
interpreter (aka ld.so) record - if it finds this situation it aborts
the load - the problem is that to get into this situation it must have
already opened the first /lib/ld.so and it does not do a dput() on it on the way
out
While this is a 'never should happen' sort of situation with normal tools but a
malicious user could create an evil-elf that could tie up kernel resources
