HardsHeap: A Universal and Extensible Framework for Evaluating Secure Allocators
Insu Yun, Woosun C. Song, Seunggi Min, Taesoo Kim · 2021
Secure allocators have been extensively studied to mitigate heap vulnerabilities. They employ safe designs and randomized mechanisms to stop or mitigate heap exploitation. Despite extensive research efforts, secure allocators can only be evaluated by with theoretical analysis or pre-defined data sets, which are insufficient to effectively reflect powerful adversaries in the real world.
