In order to find buffer overflow vulnerability point accurately and rapidly,this paper proposes a method that can find buffer overflow vulnerabilities in binary file through code instrumentation.It uses plentiful functions PIN providing to make program analysis tool and saves information needed during program execution.When detecting memory access violation exception,it distinguishes what class of memory corruption and obtains memory corruption point and seeks illegal memory writing instruction to locate vulnerability.Example analysis shows that the method does not need source program,and has higher efficiency,it can locate popular buffer overflow vulnerabilities successfully.
