Fix Recommendation

Edit the global initialization files and remove the relative path entry from the library preload list variable 'LDR_PRELOAD'.

Check Contents

Check the global initialization files' library preload list using command:

# grep LDR_PRELOAD /etc/profile /etc/bashrc /etc/security/.login /etc/environment /etc/security/environ
/etc/environment:LDR_PRELOAD=:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/java7_64/jre/bin:/usr/java7_64/bin

This variable is formatted as a colon-separated list of paths.

If there is an empty entry, such as a leading or trailing colon, or two consecutive colons, this is a finding.

If an entry begins with a character other than a slash (/) or other than "$PATH", it is a relative path, and this is a finding.
