Ldd(1) and Untrusted Binaries (2023)

Original author here. Thanks for sharing!

I was wondering why my old article was gaining extra attention this morning, suspected it was because of the whole xz fiasco, and it seems that was right. For more details, I think this got popular again because of the link in the investigation at https://gist.github.com/thesamesam/223949d5a074ebc3dce9ee78b...

Ldd can execute code in some cases; this came up as a side note during the xz investigations, and hadn't gotten alot of traction in the past. I figured some more attention could be good while everyone goes digging into unknown binaries
