Current evaluation

Feature request to enhance the CVE-2020-27348 empty LD_LIBRARY_PATH warning in snapcraft build logs to include a hint on how to fix the issue or a link to relevant documentation. No maintainer response, no labels, inactive for ~5.5 years.

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: The issue is 2001 days old with zero comments, no labels, and no maintainer interaction. The CVE-2020-27348 warning is a minor UX improvement (adding a hint/link to the warning message), not a functional bug. The underlying warning mechanism still exists in snapcraft, but the specific request for a documentation link is a low-priority polish item that has sat untouched for over five years with no community or maintainer engagement, making it effectively stale and unlikely to be addressed without fresh context.

Impact: 20 Quick Win: 18.0 Staleness: 95 Complexity: 10 Confidence: 55 Support Request: 15

Issue body

Checking a build log I saw the warning 'CVE-2020-27348: A potentially empty LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been set for environment in 'quadrapassel'. The current working directory will be added to the library path if empty. This can cause unexpected libraries to be loaded.' It's nice that it gives a warning about the issue but it would be even better if it was hinting on how to fix the issue or pointing to some online resources on the topic
