+Subject: [PATCH] Allow loading token handlers from the default search path
+
+Since [1] landed in cryptsetup, token handlers (libcryptsetup-token-*.so)
+are loaded from a fixed path defined at compile-time. This is
+problematic with NixOS since it introduces a dependency cycle
+between cryptsetup and systemd.
+
+This downstream patch [2] allows loading token plugins from the
+default library search path. This approach is not accepted upstream [3]
+due to security concerns, but the potential attack vectors require
+root access and they are sufficiently addressed:
+
+* cryptsetup could be used as a setuid binary (not used in NixOS).
+  In this case, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is ignored because of secure-execution
+  mode.
+* cryptsetup running as root could lead to a malicious token handler
+  being loaded through LD_LIBRARY_PATH. However, fixing the path
+  doesn't prevent the same malicious .so being loaded through LD_PRELOAD.
