Study of Buffer Overflow Attacks and Microarchitectural Defenses

Buffer overflow attack is one of the most common security threats. This thesis examines the working mechanism of typical buffer overflow attacks and presents a new approach to mitigating buffer overflow vulnerabilities by encoding/decoding every copy of program counter on the stack. A simple encoding/decoding scheme was implemented as a compiler enhancement to GCC. Several exploit experiments were conducted to test the effectiveness of this approach. This technique's performance overhead was also measured. This approach is able to defeat the typical stack-smashing kind of buffer overflow attack with little run-time overhead.
Research in Attacks, Intrusions and Defenses

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 15th International Symposium on Research in Attacks, Intrusions and Defenses, former Recent Advances in Intrusion Detection, RAID 2012, held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands in September 2012. The 18 full and 12 poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 84 submissions. The papers address all current topics in virtualization, attacks and defenses, host and network security, fraud detection and underground economy, web security, intrusion detection.
