rtld: Check __libc_enable_secure before honoring LD_PREFER_MAP_32BIT_EXEC (CVE-2019-19126) [BZ #25204]
The problem was introduced in glibc 2.23, in commit b9eb92ab05204df772eb4929eccd018637c9f3e9 ("Add Prefer_MAP_32BIT_EXEC to map executable pages with MAP_32BIT").

+ CVE-2019-19126: ld.so failed to ignore the LD_PREFER_MAP_32BIT_EXEC
+ environment variable during program execution after a security
+ transition, allowing local attackers to restrict the possible mapping
+ addresses for loaded libraries and thus bypass ASLR for a setuid
+ program. Reported by Marcin Koƛcielnicki.
The following bugs are resolved with this release:
