# Elfedit, a fast library for editing ELF files

Feel free to contribute to this project, the license is GPL 3.0 or
later.

## Use of unsafe

For performance reasons, this crate maps the ELF files in memory and
reads various fields directly from that memory. This is typically a
highly unsafe thing to do, especially when the offsets in the file are
given by the file itself.

In particular, the memory alignment of various fields and structs in
the ELF format is carefully designed to make reading extremely
efficient.

In order to mitigate our use of `unsafe`, we assert the preconditions
on each use, without assuming any further hypothesis.


## Security

Patching ELF files has major security implications. This project
acknowledges that and tries to be as careful as possible. However, it
is possible that bugs slip through.

If that happens and causes security issues, this project follows a
responsible disclosure policy. Please contact `pe@pijul.org` if you
suspect you may have found a bug ith security implications.
