Techniques for reducing executable code vulnerability

摘要

Techniques for reducing executable code vulnerability are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for reducing executable code vulnerability comprising analyzing a binary file, using at least one computer processor, to identify a vulnerable executable code structure, and configuring the identified executable code structure to reduce vulnerability.

1. A method for reducing executable code vulnerability comprising:
analyzing a binary file, using at least one computer processor, to identify a vulnerable executable code structure; configuring the identified executable code structure to reduce vulnerability, wherein configuring the identified executable code structure comprises reducing vulnerability by modifying a sequence of instructions to end in a call instruction, wherein configuration of the identified executable code to reduce vulnerabilities is performed at runtime by a module loaded into address space of the vulnerable executable code; identifying additional vulnerable executable code associated with the binary file; and reducing vulnerability of the additional vulnerable executable code by providing address space containing null bytes to load a page containing the identified additional vulnerable executable code.
