Subject: [ANNOUNCE] glibc heap protection patch
Hi all,
I'd just like to announce that we have a heap protection system for
glibc available for download. The system detects and prevents all heap
overflow exploits that modify inline control information from
succeeding against a protected application, can be installed
system-wide or on a per-process basis using LD_PRELOAD, and is
transparent to existing applications.
We would definitely appreciate any feedback and bug reports on the
code. The patch and some additional information is available at:
http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~wkr/projects/heap_protection/
Enjoy!
