Preventing Use-After-Free Attacks with Fast Forward Allocation

Sanidhya Kashyap, Jungwon Lim

Memory-unsafe languages are widely used to implement critical systems like kernels and browsers, leading to thousands of memory safety issues every year. A use-after-free bug is a temporal memory error where the program accidentally visits a freed memory l ...

Low-Cost Side-Channel Secure Standard 6T-SRAM-Based Memory With a 1% Area and Less Than 5% Latency and Power Overheads

Robert Giterman

Side-channel attacks constitute a concrete threat to IoT systems-on-a-chip (SoCs). Embedded memories implemented with 6T SRAM macrocells often dominate the area and power consumption of these SoCs. Regardless of the computational platform, the side-channel ...

Detailed Heap Profiling

James Richard Larus, Stuart Anthony Byma

Modern software systems heavily use the memory heap. As systems grow more complex and compute with increasing amounts of data, it can be difficult for developers to understand how their programs actually use the bytes that they allocate on the heap and whe ...

LMS-Verify: Abstraction without Regret for Verified Systems Programming’

Tiark Rompf, Nada Amin

Performance critical software is almost always developed in C, as programmers do not trust high-level languages to deliver the same reliable performance. This is bad because low-level code in unsafe languages attracts security vulnerabilities and because d ...

Approximate Computing With Unreliable Dynamic Memories

Andreas Peter Burg, Adam Shmuel Teman, Robert Giterman, Georgios Karakonstantis, Shrikanth Ganapathy

Embedded memories account for a large fraction of the overall silicon area and power consumption in modern SoC(s). While embedded memories are typically realized with SRAM, alternative solutions, such as embedded dynamic memories (eDRAM), can provide highe ...

Code-Pointer Integrity

George Candea, Mathias Josef Payer, Volodymyr Kuznetsov

Systems code is often written in low-level languages like C/C++, which offer many benefits but also delegate memory management to programmers. This invites memory safety bugs that attackers can exploit to divert control flow and compromise the system. Depl ...

Back to the Future: Fault-tolerant Live Update with Time-traveling State Transfer

Calin Iorgulescu

Live update is a promising solution to bridge the need to frequently update a software system with the pressing demand for high availability in mission-critical environments. While many research solutions have been proposed over the years, systems that all ...

Bridging Islands of Specialized Code using Macros and Reified Types

Nicolas Alexander Stucki, Vlad Ureche

Parametric polymorphism in Scala suffers from the usual drawback of erasure on the Java Virtual Machine: primitive values are boxed, leading to indirect access, wasteful use of heap memory and lack of cache locality. For performance-critical parts of the c ...
