Just saw the announcement of a package called libsafe on Freshmeat today from a group at Bell Labs: -- Libsafe 1.3 Libsafe is a library which defends against buffer overflow attacks. It works by putting a wrapper around dangerous functions that contain any buffer overflows within the current stack frame, so that the return address can not be changed. -- Thought it might be relevant to the auditing project :). The home page is at http://www.bell-labs.com/org/11356/libsafe.html. I did download the source code, but haven't had time to look at it harder than figuring out it won't compile on FreeBSD out of the box. -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 5083 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-audit" in the body of the message
