Printed on acid-free paper 987654321 springer.com Foreword Of all activities in software development, debugging is probably the one that is hated most. It is guilt-ridden because a technical failure suggests personal fail- ure; because it points the finger at us showing us that we have been wrong. It is time-consuming because we have to rethink every single assumption, every single step from requirements to implementation. Its worst feature though may be that it is unpredictable: You never know how much time it will take you to fix a bug - and whether you’ll be able to fix it at all. Ask a developer for the worst moments in life, and many of them will be related to debugging. It may be 11pm, you’re still working on it, you are just stepping through the program, and that’s when your spouse calls you and asks you when you’ll finally, finally get home, and you try to end the call as soon as possible as you’re losing grip on the carefully memorized observations and deductions.

  • Survey of Protections from Buffer-Overflow Attacks
    Survey of Protections from Buffer-Overflow Attacks Krerk Piromsopa1,* and Richard J. Enbody2 1 Department of Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University Bangkok 10330 Thailand 2 Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Michigan State University East Lansing, MI 48824-1226 USA E-mail: [email protected],* and [email protected] Abstract. Buffer-overflow attacks began two decades ago and persist today. Over that time, a number of researchers have proposed many solutions. Their targets were either to prevent or to protect against buffer-overflow attacks. As defenses improved, attacks adapted and became more complicated. Given the maturity of field and the fact that some solutions now exist that can prevent most buffer-overflow attacks, it is time to examine these schemes and their critical issues. In this survey, approaches were categorized into three board categories to provide a basis for understanding buffer- overflow protection schemes. Keywords: Buffer overflow, buffer-overflow attacks, function-pointer attacks, intrusion detection, intrusion prevention. ENGINEERING JOURNAL Volume 15 Issue 2 Received 1 June 2010 Accepted 5 February 2011 Published 1 April 2011 Online at http://www.ej.eng.chula.ac.th/eng/ DOI:10.4186/ej.2011.15.2.31 DOI:10.4186/ej.2011.15.2.31 1. Introduction Though dated back to the 1988 infamous MORRIS worm [1], buffer-overflow attacks are still widely found. In 2007, buffer overflows made up the majority of the vulnerabilities listed by CERT [2] which allowed execution of arbitrary code, i.e. the most serious vulnerabilities. Though skilled programmers should write code that does not allow buffer overflows, current practice does not guarantee programs that are free from vulnerabilities.

  • Valgrind for OSE
    Valgrind for OSE Lifei Tang 8/18/2012 Supervisor: Moris Behnam Supervisor: Mathias Engan Examiner: Thomas Nolte Supervisor: Daniel Forsgren Abstract For programmers, it is always painful and hard to identify non-fatal errors like memory leaks, out of boundary errors or data race condition with traditional debug tools e.g. GDB. Today, there are many tools available to help the programmers to find these problems. The collection of Valgrind tools is a good example. Valgrind itself is an open source framework for debugging and profiling. It is today available for Linux, Darwin and Android, on hardware platforms such as ARM, x86 and PPC. Valgrind virtualizes the user mode environment and depends on the host OS environment. This thesis explores how Valgrind could be adapted to support an OSE (a real-time operation system product from ENEA software AB) target in a Linux host environment. 1 | P a g e Acknowledgement I would like to thank many people, without their support this work would not have been possible. I am really grateful to my supervisor at ENEA Software AB, Mathias Engan, who offers tons of help for solving all kinds of issues from the technical problem to my the daily company life; and Daniel Forsgren, my special technical advisor at ENEA, who kindly and patiently helps me to harming the technical problems on a weekly basis and provide me lots of valuable ideas, without his helps, I won’t even know how to start the whole thing. I’d like to thank Dr. Moris Behnam and Prof. Thomas Nolte, my thesis supervisor and examiner at Mälardalen University, who provide me constructive advices on my thesis.
