Buffer overflow and format string overflow vulnerabilities
Buffer overflow vulnerabilities are among the most widespread of security problems. Numerous incidents of buffer overflow attacks have been reported and many solutions have been proposed, but a solution that is both complete and highly practical is yet to be found. Another kind of vulnerability called format string overflow has recently been found, and though not as popular as buffer overflow, ...
متن کاملPointGuardTM: Protecting Pointers From Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities
Despite numerous security technologies crafted to resist buffer overflow vulnerabilities, buffer overflows continue to be the dominant form of software security vulnerability. This is because most buffer overflow defenses provide only partial coverage, and the attacks have adapted to exploit problems that are not well-defended, such as heap overflows. This paper presents PointGuard, a compiler ...
متن کاملStatically Detecting Likely Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities
Buffer overflow attacks may be today’s single most important security threat. This paper presents a new approach to mitigating buffer overflow vulnerabilities by detecting likely vulnerabilities through an analysis of the program source code. Our approach exploits information provided in semantic comments and uses lightweight and efficient static analyses. This paper describes an implementation...
متن کاملTesting C Programs for Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities
Security vulnerabilities often result from buffer overflows. A testing technique that instruments programs with code that keeps track of memory buffers, and checks arguments to functions to determine if they satisfy certain conditions, warns when a buffer overflow may occur. It does so when executed with ”normal” test data as opposed to test data designed to trigger buffer overflows. A tool usi...
