>Description:

Just a new port submission - libparanoia. That is a security-related
library, which provides safe (in mean of stack smashing) incarnations
of strcpy/strcat et al.

XThis is a library, which contains a safe reincarnations
Xof strcpy/strcat/sprintf and some other functions,
Xwhich is known to be a source to 99% of stack smashing 
Xattacks since Morrison Worm. 
X
XBasic idea is: these functions never return in case 
Xof modified stack frames. Instead, they kills current
Xprocess with SIG_SEGV, and, in case when program 
Xjust ignores it - calls exit(2). In 'paranoidal'
Xpoint of view, termination of a process is a much 
Xless worth, than possible incorrect continuation.
X
XThis library can be used in two ways - you can just 
Xinstall it as a port/package, and then relink critical
Xapplications (such as a network daemons) with 
X-lparanoia -L/usr/local/lib, or you can override
Xstandard functions in libc (using libparanoia/copy-to-libc 
Xshell script) - in this case you'll get any application,
Xwhich uses shared libc, automatically protected.
