The automatic testing tools of component security bring great effect on component-based software engineering, and they can effectively ensure the security of component-based software. A prototype tool named CSTS (component security testing system) is designed and implemented to test the security of the widely-used COTS (Commercial-off-the-Shelf) Microsoft COM (component object model) component. CSTS,...
In software coding practices, buffer overflow is most frequently used as a means of intrusion. Typically, an attacker is able to affect a successful intrusion by causing buffer overflow in the stack frame of a function call, thereby causing the valid return address to get overwritten by a malicious value. This allows the attacker to redirect the return from a function call to a malicious piece of...
While memory-safe and type-safe languages have been available for many years, the vast majority of software is still implemented in type-unsafe languages such as C/C++. Despite massive concerted efforts by software vendors such as Microsoft to eliminate buffer overflow vulnerabilities through automated and manual code review, they continue to be found and exploited. We present a novel approach that...
