Preventing zero-day exploits of memory vulnerabilities with guard lines
Sterling Vinson, Rachel B. Stonehirsch, Joel Coffman, Jim Stevens · 2019
Exploitable memory errors are pervasive due to the widespread use of unsafe programming languages, such as C and C++. Despite much research, techniques for detecting memory errors at runtime have seen limited adoption due to high performance overhead, incomplete memory safety, or non-trivial microarchitectural changes.
