# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on # the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must make # exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also customary to # leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| libsafe: libsafe libsafe: libsafe: The libsafe library protects a process against the exploitation of libsafe: buffer overflow vulnerabilities in process stacks and against format libsafe: string exploits. Libsafe works with any existing pre-compiled libsafe: executable and can be used transparently, even on a system-wide basis. libsafe: The method intercepts all calls to library functions that are known to libsafe: be vulnerable. Libsafe has been shown to detect several known attacks libsafe: and can potentially prevent yet unknown attacks. Experiments indicate libsafe: that the performance overhead of libsafe is negligible. libsafe:
