<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I work on a product that provides a JNI wrapper around a native API, we currently use LD_PRELOAD to enable signal chaining. We chose LD_PRELOAD as we do not force our customers to a specific Java vendor or
version, nor do we want to complicate our build process by creating a unique build for each of the various Java vendor/versions our customers may be using. We've recently discovered that the use of LD_PRELOAD is considered a code injection risk by security
analysis tools, such as ones that check for OWASP 2017. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Is there anything we may not be considering to allow our JNI dependent product to be OWASP compliant? Or does anyone know if there are plans to address this in a new or alternate way in the future to allow a
JNI application to be OWASP compliant? Builds linking against each supported JVM would work, but going from 1 to 9 builds (roughly 3 JDK vendors x 3 active JDK version levels) on 5 platforms will certainly add to our maintenance and testing cycles.<o:p></o:p></p>
