safestringlib

The Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) recommends banning certain C Libraryfunctions because they directly contribute to security vulnerabilities such asbuffer overflows. However routines for the manipulation of strings and memorybuffers are common in software and firmware, and are essential to accomplishcertain programming tasks. Safer replacements for these functions that avoid orprevent serious security vulnerabilities (e.g. buffer overflows, string formatattacks, conversion overflows/underflows, etc.) are available in the SafeStringLibrary.
