Florian Weimer noted:

"These crashers are out-of-bounds reads at a fixed offset relative to the data segment of a DSO, and in all cases I've seen, they were right in the middle of an unmapped segment of the same DSO. This means that these bugs are just crashers, but they can still result in denial-of-service conditions."
