Undangle: early detection of dangling pointers in use-after-free and double-free vulnerabilities
Use-after-free vulnerabilities are rapidly growing in popularity, especially for exploiting web browsers. Use-afterfree (and double-free) vulnerabilities are caused by a program o...

An empirical model to predict security vulnerabilities using code complexity metrics
Complexity is often hypothesized to be the enemy of software security. If this hypothesis is true, complexity metrics may be used to predict the locale of security problems and ca...
