Protecting C programs from attacks via invalid pointer dereferences
Writes via unchecked pointer dereferences rank high among vulnerabilities most often exploited by malicious code. The most common attacks use an unchecked string copy to cause a b...

Efficiently Detecting All Dangling Pointer Uses in Production Servers
In this paper, we propose a novel technique to detect all dangling pointer uses at run-time that is efficient enough for production use in server codes. One idea (previously used ...

Cloning-based context-sensitive pointer alias analysis using binary decision diagrams
This paper presents the first scalable context-sensitive, inclusionbased pointer alias analysis for Java programs. Our approach to context sensitivity is to create a clone of a m...
