OverfiowDungeon:A Novel Overflow Attack Prevention System
Lu Xian · 2006
Overflow attack does the broadest harm to network applications.There are techniques which can prevent the kind of attack.However they have obvious flaws.This paper presents a novel mechanism of overflow attack preven- tion,which prevents shell code from exploiting resources of system.In this way,we need not change compiler or oper- ating system.It uses statistic way to prevent dummy return trick.The implementation shows that it can prevent over- flow attack and has advantage of performance over other mechanisms.
