[COPY] --- T2-COPYRIGHT-NOTE-END --- [I] Detection and protection against stack smashing attacks [T] The libsafe library protects a process against the exploitation of [T] buffer overflow vulnerabilities in process stacks. Libsafe works with [T] any existing pre-compiled executable and can be used transparently, [T] even on a system-wide basis. The method intercepts all calls to [T] library functions that are known to be vulnerable. A substitute [T] version of the corresponding function implements the original [T] functionality, but in a manner that ensures that any buffer overflows [T] are contained within the current stack frame. Libsafe has been shown [T] to detect several known attacks and can potentially prevent yet [T] unknown attacks. Experiments indicate that the performance overhead [T] of libsafe is negligible.
