Libsafe 2.0 Launch: Enhanced Protection Against Buffer Overflows

Avaya Labs announced today it is releasing Libsafe(TM) 2.0, an enhanced version of its free security software for the popular Linux operating system.

Avaya Labs announced today it is releasing Libsafe(TM) 2.0, an enhanced version of its free security software for the popular Linux operating system. Libsafe version 2.0 adds the ability to protect against security attacks that exploit ``format string' vulnerabilities in software, including programs that are widely deployed as part of the Internet infrastructure. As a result, Libsafe 2.0 protects against the two most common forms of security attacks: `buffer overflow' and `format string.' Libsafe extends its protection to all application programs running on a system, and will even help to protect programs that have vulnerabilities yet to be discovered. Avaya Labs is the research and development arm of Avaya, a global leader in business communication solutions and services. The announcement was made at CeBIT, a communications show taking place here. "Enterprises worldwide are deploying servers and communication networks, counting on the high reliability of Linux," said Ravi Sethi, president of Avaya Labs. "Avaya is making Libsafe 2.0 available free to help protect our customers, existing and potential, from malicious security attacks. Our customers already benefit from additional Avaya Labs technology to enhance reliability by protecting against inadvertent errors."
