Testing C Programs for Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities - Haugh, Bishop (2003)   (Correct)

....widely used, open source software packages. This evaluation shows that the tool is useful for finding buffer overflow flaws, that it has a low false positive rate, and compares well with other techniques. 1 Introduction Buffer overflow vulnerabilities are one of the most common security flaws [6]. Over the past few years, they have accounted for up to 50 of the advisories issued by CERT, demonstrating just how serious the issue is. The infamous Internet worm of 1988 exploited a buffer overflow vulnerability in the fingerd(8) server program[8] A buffer overflow flaw typically results ....

Anomaly Detection Using Call Stack Information - Feng, Kolesnikov, Fogla, Lee.. (2003)   (11 citations)  (Correct)

....intrusion traces. This may suggest the attacks they chose are inherently easy to detect. So although Wespi s method generated higher looking scores, this does not necessarily mean it works better. Cowan et al. proposed a method, called StackGuard, to detect and prevent buffer overflow attacks [2, 3]. StackGuard is a compiler technique for providing code pointer integrity checking to the return address. The basic idea is to place a canary word next to the return address on the stack, and check if this word was modified before the function returns. This is a good idea and may work well with ....

.... strings that contain commands thus allowing the user to run arbitrary commands with root privilege [10] 11] one executes commands in emails [12] and one is an integer overflow [13] The six buffer overflow vulnerabilities could have been avoided by using techniques described by Cowan et al. [15]. However, not all overflow attacks can be detected and the authors recommend the use of a typesafe language. An argument that is often raised against type safe systems and software protection is that the compiler must be trusted. We think that this is not a very strong argument for the following ....

....frame to use. Lower address Local variables Old base pointer Return address Arguments Higher address Figure 3. The UNIX stack frame. 2.3 Attack Targets As stated above the target for a successful change of control flow is a code pointer. There are three types of code pointers to attack [11]. But Hiroaki Etoh and Kunikazu Yoda propose using the old base pointer as an attack target [15] We have implemented their proposed attack form and proven that the old base pointer is just as dangerous a target as the return address (see section 2.4 and 4) So we have four attack targets: 1. The ....

....is the most popular and unlike function pointers and longjmp buffers, the return address is always present. According to Cowan s e mail and a WireX paper a better solution is on its way called PointGuard which will protect the integrity of pointers in general with the same kind of canary solution [11]. This implies that PointGuard will protect against all attack forms overflowing pointers (See attack forms 3a f and 4a f in section 4) StackGuard is available for download at http: www.immunix.org 3.4 Stack Shield Stack Shield is a compiler patch for GCC made by Vendicator [33] In the ....

....against such a straw man, we felt it necessary to get repeatable experiments. We view the above concessions as largely immaterial to the validity of RaceGuard defense, because they only make the programs more vulnerable. However, it is interesting to note that while exploits for buffer overflow [10], format bug [6] and CGI [8] vulnerabilities are readily available, exploits for race vulnerabilities are extremely rare. We conjecture that the relative scarcity of race exploits is related to the relative difficulty in successfully deploying race attacks: script kiddies aren t interested in ....
