Description Bojan Smojver 2002-10-08 01:55:58 UTC
Library for protection against most popular forms of buffer overflows. Used to
be part of Powertools 7.1 and 6.2. Not perfect, but can catch a lot of yet
unknown buffer overflow problems. Performance impact is very small. Installs on
top of everything, so no recompilation of programs is necessary.
