Memory corruption errors in C/C++ programs remain the most common source of security
vulnerabilities in today's systems. Control-flow hijacking attacks exploit memory corruption …

As control-flow hijacking defenses gain adoption, it is important to understand the remaining
capabilities of adversaries via memory exploits. Non-control data exploits are used to mount …

Control-Flow Bending: On the Effectiveness of Control-Flow Integrity Page 1 Open access to
the Proceedings of the 24th USENIX Security Symposium is sponsored by USENIX Control-Flow …

In this chapter, we describe code-pointer integrity (CPI), a new design point that guarantees
the integrity of all code pointers in a program (eg, function pointers, saved return addresses) …

Despite decades of sustained effort, memory corruption attacks continue to be one of the
most serious security threats faced today. They are highly sought after by attackers, as they …

WebAssembly is an increasingly popular compilation target designed to run code in
browsers and on other platforms safely and securely, by strictly separating code and data …

Current Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) implementations track control edges individually,
insensitive to the context of preceding edges. Recent work demonstrates that this leaves …

Control-Flow Hijacking attacks are the dominant attack vector against C/C++ programs.
Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) solutions mitigate these attacks on the forward edge, ie, indirect …

As defense solutions against control-flow hijacking attacks gain wide deployment, control-
oriented exploits from memory errors become difficult. As an alternative, attacks targeting …

Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) is an effective approach to mitigating control-flow hijacking
attacks. Conventional CFI techniques statically extract a control-flow graph (CFG) from a …
