[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.
