Description MATSUU Takuto (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-29 06:47:12 UTC
The libsafe library protects a process against the exploitation of buffer
overflow vulnerabilities in process stacks.

WWW: http://www.research.avayalabs.com/project/libsafe/

I suggest sys-libs/libsafe.

Another ebuild. corrections and enhancements

Opps created an ebuild before searching for an existing one. Noted original
licence was incorrect. This one also installs test programs in /usr/lib/libsafe
and has skeleton (commented out) support for email notification of buffer
exploitation. I have taken some of Matsuu Takuto installation of
/etc/ld.so.preload which did a few more dependency checks than mine. Changed
this to also reference the symlink rather than the specific version. Also
installed more documentation that comes with the package.

Sorry about duplicate ebuilds. I got a 400 error when I submitted an ebuild and
assumed it failed. - Sorry

Sorry guys - fixing my mistakes
Comment 7 Dizzy 2003-10-05 02:37:58 UTC
I just installed this ebuild on some of my systems, all seem fine. I would
sugest that the ebuild should NOT automatically install libsafe in /etc/ld.so.preload
but rather instruct the user how to. The thing is that if something goes
wrong let it be user's fault instead of ebuild's ...

I would like to see libsafe in portage as soon as possible as is something
I have always used on my (were Slackware, now Gentoo) servers.

in cvs (sys-libs/libsafe).
