Read-only data in ELF libraries may be remapped writable at runtime (upcoming NDSS'17 paper)

[Florian Weimer]

I would like to point out that the reporters followed a responsible
disclosure process, and I asked them to report this publicly.  My
reasoning was this: We are talking about a post-exploitation
countermeasure (RELRO) whose effectiveness is reduced, and there is
some amount of cross-project, cross-architecture coordination needed
here, which makes bug fixing in secret extremely inefficient.
