Sandboxing untrusted code is useful when you have to rely on third-party
developed software where you don't have access to source code, or you don't have
resources to perform a source code assessment. Sandboxing can also be useful as
an additional security boundary for your own code.
Sandbox2 is an open-source C++ security sandbox for Linux written by security
engineers at Google. With Sandbox2 you can restrict the runtime environment to
the minimum required for genuine operations, thus limiting the impact of
potential code execution vulnerabilities.
Sandbox2 can be used to sandbox entire programs or portions of programs written
in C/C++.
