摘要:
Calls to stop functions are identified in a computer program file. The stop functions are functions that interact with external resources. Parameters of the calls to the stop functions that are references to the external resources are identified. An analysis is performed over the computer program file to find out possible values of the parameters of the calls.

A method for dynamically selecting string analysis algorithms can begin with the training of the dynamic string analysis handler of a string analysis module to effectively handle a subset of string queries having contextual metadata received from a client application in an instructional environment. The effectiveness of the training module can be based upon feedback from the client application. Upon completion of the training, a string analysis algorithm selection policy can be synthesized. The string analysis algorithm selection policy can correlate a context of a string query in the subset to the usage of a string analysis algorithm. When in the operational environment, the dynamic string analysis handler can dynamically handle string queries having contextual metadata received from the client application in accordance with the string analysis algorithm selection policy. The string analysis algorithm to be used for a string query can be dynamically and independently determined.

An illegal pattern and a computer program having a method are received. The method has one or more return statements, and a number of basic blocks. The method is normalized so that each return statement of the target method relating to the illegal pattern returns a constant Boolean value. A first path condition and a second path condition for one or more corresponding paths is determined such that one or more corresponding basic blocks return a constant Boolean value of true for the first path condition and a constant Boolean value of false for the second path condition. An unsatisfiability of each path condition is determined using a monadic second-order logic (M2L) technique. Where the unsatisfiability of either path condition is false, the method is reported as not being a validator. Where the unsatisfiability of either path condition is true, the method is reported as being a validator.

A transformation tree for an object model (OM) is defined. The transformation tree has nodes interconnected by edges, where each node is connected to at most one other tree node. Each node corresponds to a state of the OM; each edge corresponds to an event causing the OM to transition from the state of one node to the state of another node. A transformation graph for the OM is constructed by simulating the transformation tree. The transformation graph has nodes interconnected by edges, and is a directed graph in which each node is connected to one or more other nodes. Each node corresponds to a state of the OM; each edge corresponds to an event causing the OM to transition from the state of one node to the state of another node. Crawling-oriented actions are performed in relation to the OM by being performed in relation to the transformation graph.

Mechanisms for evaluating downgrader code in application code with regard to one or more security guidelines are provided. Downgrader code in application code is identified, where the downgrader code is a portion of code in the application code that operates on an information flow of the application code to ensure confidentiality of information input to the downgrader code, in the output of the downgrader code. Processes of the downgrader code are evaluated against security guidelines to determine if the processes violate the security guidelines. A notification is generated in response to the evaluation indicating that the processes of the downgrader code violate the security guidelines. The notification is output to a computing device for consideration.

A method includes determining grammar for output of an information-flow downgrader in a software program. The software program directs the output of the information-flow downgrader to a sink. The method includes determining whether the grammar of the output conforms to one or more predetermined specifications of the sink. The method includes, in response to a determination the grammar of the output conforms to the one or more predetermined specifications of the sink, determining the information-flow downgrader is verified for the sink, wherein determining grammar, determining whether the grammar, and determining the information-flow downgrader are performed via static analysis of the software program. Apparatus and computer program products are also disclosed. An apparatus includes a user interface providing a result of whether or not output of an information-flow downgrader in the software program conforms to one or more predetermined specifications of a sink in the software program.

摘要:
A static analysis for identification of permission-requirements on stack-inspection authorization systems is provided. The analysis employs functional modularity for improved scalability. To enhance precision, the analysis utilizes program slicing to detect the origin of each parameter passed to a security-sensitive function. Furthermore, since strings are essential when defining permissions, the analysis integrates a sophisticated string analysis that models string computations.

摘要:
Improving static analysis precision by recording a value pointed to by a string variable within the computer-based software application during the execution of a computer-based software application, modeling an invariant based on the recorded value, where the invariant represents at least one possible value pointed to by the string variable, performing a first static analysis of the computer-based software application to determine whether the invariant is valid with respect to the computer-based software application, and seeding a second static analysis of the computer-based software application with the invariant if the invariant is valid with respect to the computer-based software application.
