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