Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for analyzing operations of privilege changes is presented. The computer-implemented method includes inputting a program and performing source code analysis on the program by generating a privilege control flow graph (PCFG), generating a privilege data flow graph (PDFG), and generating a privilege call context graph (PCCG). The computer-implemented method further includes, based on the source code analysis results, instrumenting the program to perform inspections on execution states at privilege change operations, and performing runtime inspection and anomaly prevention.
