Zero-sized Heap Allocations Vulnerability Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
Elie Burzstein discussed the Windows Data Protection API (DPAPI), a “black box” for encrypting and decrypting data that is used in many different parts of the Windows operating system, including the Encrypted File Systems (EFS), as well as a variety of other programs (Skype, Explorer, WiFi, etc.). Burzstein provided key insights into mounting the Windows EFS on Linux. This work also shows how one may perform a key escrow attack on the DPAPI to achieve this goal.

Stability Analysis and Stabilization of Miduk Heap Leaching Structure, Iran
To construct copper heap leaching structures, a stepped heap of ore is placed over an isolated sloping surface and then washed with sulphuric acid. The isolated bed of such a heap consists of some natural and geosynthetic layers. Shear strength parameters between these layers are low, so they form the possible sliding surfaces of the heaps. Economic and environmental considerations call for stu...
متن کاملTowards Efficient Heap Overflow Discovery
Heap overflow is a prevalent memory corruption vulnerability, playing an important role in recent attacks. Finding such vulnerabilities in applications is thus critical for security. Many state-of-art solutions focus on runtime detection, requiring abundant inputs to explore program paths in order to reach a high code coverage and luckily trigger security violations. It is likely that the input...
متن کاملWorst-Case Analysis of Heap Allocations
In object oriented languages, dynamic memory allocation is a fundamental concept. When using such a language in hard real-time systems, it becomes important to bound both the worst-case execution time and the worst-case memory consumption. In this paper, we present an analysis to determine the worst-case heap allocations of tasks. The analysis builds upon techniques that are well established fo...
متن کاملThe Heap of the Living Dead: Post-mortem Memory Profiling for Java Applications
Managed memory, i.e., garbage collected memory, has gained wide-spread use because it relieves the programmer from freeing heap objects manually and allows for fast allocations. However, these advantages come at the cost of a difficult to understand memory manager and garbage collector. Therefore, searching for memory-related performance degredations is a tedious task because the reasons for sl...
متن کاملRICB: Integer Overflow Vulnerability Dynamic Analysis via Buffer Overflow
Integer overflow vulnerability will cause buffer overflow. The research on the relationship between them will help us to detect integer overflow vulnerability. We present a dynamic analysis methods RICB (Runtime Integer Checking via Buffer overflow). Our approach includes decompile execute file to assembly language; debug the execute file step into and step out; locate the overflow points and c...
