16 [I] Detection and protection against stack smashing attacks
18 [T] The libsafe library protects a process against the exploitation of
19 [T] buffer overflow vulnerabilities in process stacks. Libsafe works with
20 [T] any existing pre-compiled executable and can be used transparently,
21 [T] even on a system-wide basis. The method intercepts all calls to
22 [T] library functions that are known to be vulnerable. A substitute
23 [T] version of the corresponding function implements the original
24 [T] functionality, but in a manner that ensures that any buffer overflows
25 [T] are contained within the current stack frame. Libsafe has been shown
26 [T] to detect several known attacks and can potentially prevent yet
27 [T] unknown attacks. Experiments indicate that the performance overhead
28 [T] of libsafe is negligible.
