From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826 Description of problem: libsafe is a library that detects buffer overflows and similar bugs in software. It does this by not requiring any modification to the operating system and works with existing binary programs. Its method does not require access to the source code of defective programs, nor does it require recompilation or off-line processing of binaries. Furthermore, it can be implemented on a system-wide basis transparently. The source code to libsafe version 2.0 is available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. It can be downloaded from http://www.research.avayalabs.com/project/libsafe/ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Download software. 2.Install. 3.Watch buffer overflows become minimized. Actual Results: Been running version 2.0 with RH 7.3 and haven't had any problems. Additional info: I didn't see where to post feature enhancements, so I used bugzilla. I hope it doesn't cause too much of a problem.
Not a good idea. Checkinstall doesn't work anymore with libsafe. Cheers Tycho
