VULHUB ™

The libsafe library protects a process against the exploitation of buffer overflow vulnerabilities in process stacks. Libsafe works with any existing pre-compiled executable and can be used transparently, even on a system-wide basis. 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.
