script_tag(name:"summary", value:"LD_LIBRARY_PATH is an environmental variable in Linux. When
loading a dynamic link library, the program preferentially obtains the library from the path
specified by LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Generally, LD_LIBRARY_PATH should not be set, because a maliciously
set value will make the program link to an incorrect dynamic library, causing security risks.
Note: Dynamic libraries can also be configured in the /etc/ld.so.conf.d directory. Ensure that the
configurations in the directory are correct.
By default, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set in openEuler. If it is required in an actual scenario,
ensure that its value is correct in all user contexts.");
