[PATCH 11/11] lib: remove _RLD_ from forbid environment variable list

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

 



The RLD environment variables are related to runtime linker vulnerability in
TELNET on systems running Silicon Graphics IRIX.  It is extremely unlikely
current util-linux would be compiled on such system.
