Hi, A couple of days ago, Ben Laurie posted to the Secure Coding list about using FreeBSD's experimental Capsicum support in the kernel to sandbox bzip2 and libtiff ("wrapping it such that the calling application is unaware it is wrapped") - as two initial examples, I presume. I found this very interesting. Ben's blog post on bzip2, showing 13 steps (separate git commits, kind of a tutorial) that were needed to sandbox bzip2: http://www.links.org/?p=1242 Secure Coding list posting also mentioning the work on libtiff: http://krvw.com/pipermail/sc-l/2012/002801.html Secure Coding mailing list (SC-L): http://www.securecoding.org/list/ Alexander
