Lisp security

Obviously Lisp is not prone to buffer overfow controls. (unless optimations turn bounds checking off)
But there is the question of Java.final.
Apperaently there is no equivalence in Lisp.
Simularly there is the possibility to change inheritance after runtime.
Also decaring code after runtime.
Obviously if you get trough the outer defenses Lisp is chanseless.
Any chance of anyone (Allegro) deveoping a 'sandbox' for lisp?
