Insight
The run-time link-editor, rtld, links dynamic executable with their needed libraries at run-time. It also allows users to explicitly load libraries via various LD_ environmental variables.
When running setuid programs rtld will normally remove potentially dangerous environment variables. Due to recent changes in FreeBSD environment variable handling code, a corrupt environment may result in attempts to unset environment variables failing.
