The problem with this attack is that you have to drop the 6c file in your PATH for it to work, because otherwise you need to use ./ for it to execute. This makes the attack pointless because if the attacker can drop something to your PATH, you're already pwned since the attacker can just name his payload "ls" and wait for you to execute it.
