摘要： A containment system may include a protection system which may protect the computing device from future attacks. For example, a patch may be automatically generated which resolves a detected vulnerability in a program. IN another example, a filter may be automatically generated which filters actions and/or messages which take advantage of a detected vulnerability in a program.

摘要： A containment system may include generating and/or sending an alert as the basis for safely sharing knowledge about detected worms. An alert may contain information that proves that a given program has a vulnerability. The alert may be self-certifying such that its authenticity may be independently verified by a computing system.

摘要： One aspect of the invention is a vulnerability detection mechanism that can detect a large class of attacks through dynamic dataflow analysis. Another aspect of the invention includes self-certifying alerts as the basis for safely sharing knowledge about worms. Another aspect of the invention is a resilient and self-organizing protocol to propagate alerts to all non-infected nodes in a timely fashion, even when under active attack during a worm outbreak. Another aspect of the invention is a system architecture that enables a large number of mutually untrusting computers to collaborate in the task of stopping a previously unknown worm, even when the worm is spreading rapidly and exploiting unknown vulnerabilities in popular software packages.

摘要： The majority of such software attacks exploit software vulnerabilities or flaws to write data to unintended locations. For example, control-data attacks exploit buffer overflows or other vulnerabilities to overwrite a return address in the stack, a function pointer, or some other piece of control data. Non-control-data attacks exploit similar vulnerabilities to overwrite security critical data without subverting the intended control flow in the program. We describe a method for securing software against both control-data and non-control-data attacks. A static analysis is carried out to determine data flow information for a software program. Data-flow tracking instructions are formed in order to track data flow during execution or emulation of that software. Also, checking instructions are formed to check the tracked data flow against the static analysis results and thereby identify potential attacks or errors. Optional optimisations are described to reduce the resulting additional overheads.

摘要： Methods of detecting memory errors using write integrity testing are described. In an embodiment, additional analysis is performed when a program is compiled. This analysis identifies a set of objects which can be written by each instruction in the program. Additional code is then inserted into the program so that, at runtime, the program checks before performing a write instruction that the particular object being written is one of the set of objects that it is allowed to write. The inserted code causes an exception to be raised if this check fails and allows the write to proceed if the check is successful. In a further embodiment, code may also be inserted to perform checks before indirect control-flow transfer instructions, to ensure that those instructions cannot transfer control to locations different from those intended.

摘要： Methods and architectures for automatic filter generation are described. In an embodiment, these filters are generated in order to block inputs which would otherwise disrupt the normal functioning of a program. An initial set of filter conditions is generated by analyzing the path of a program from a point at which a bad input is received to the point at which the malfunctioning of the program is detected and creating conditions on an input which ensure that this path is followed. Having generated the initial set of filter conditions, the set is made less specific by determining which instructions do not influence whether the point of detection of the attack is reached and removing the filter conditions which correspond to these instructions.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for generating error reports with enhanced privacy are described. In an embodiment the error is triggered by an input to a software program. An error report is generated by identifying conditions on an input to the program which ensure that, for any input which satisfies the conditions, the software program will follow the same execution path such that the error can be reproduced. The error report may include these conditions or may include a new input generated using the conditions.
