How to create exception to entry in /etc/ld.so.preload?

Hi all!

I'd like to use the hardened malloc implementation globally on the system as described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Securi … ned_malloc by editing '/etc/ld.so.preload'.

However I have some applications e.g. handbrake that don't seem to work well with this implementation and quit execution by crashing.

Is there a way to create exceptions, like a blacklist for hardened malloc, from the global rule for certain programs so that only the ones that don't work with hardened malloc use glibc's implementation?
