SubjectRe: 2.2.0 SECURITY

I just traced what ldd does:

ldd is a shell script, and the command causing the crash actually is:

/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --verify "./core"

This command crashes 2.2.0 as ldd ./core does.

A quick look at the code shows that ld-linux, in the --verify case,
doesn't really execute core, it mmaps it and tries to decide if
core is an elf executable. But I didn't really try to understand
what ld-linux does...
