[PATCH 2/5] ld.so.8: Clarify LD_PROFILE in secure-execution mode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Different than specified, glibc 2.2.5 does not ignore LD_PROFILE in
secure-execution mode.  Instead, it uses the default LD_PROFILE_OUTPUT
(/var/profile) folder.
