I use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to set the path of a certain user library for an application. But if I set capabilities on this application
sudo setcap CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=eip myapplication
then LD_LIBRARY_PATH seems to be ignored. When I launch the program, Linux complains that it cannot find a certain shared library.
I guess that there’s some kind of protection kicking in, to prevent applications with extended rights from being hijacked. Is there a workaround?
Yes, it’s disabled for security reasons.
