CVE-2012-1568

The ExecShield feature in a certain Red Hat patch for the Linux kernel in
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 and 6 and Fedora 15 and 16 does not
properly handle use of many shared libraries by a 32-bit executable file,
which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to bypass the ASLR
protection mechanism by leveraging a predictable base address for one of
these libraries.
