StackSpecter: Detecting Stack Buffer Overflows for the Xtensa Architecture

This paper presents a new approach, StackSpecter, for stack buffer overflow detection, specifically for architectures with register windows. It uses a combination of plausibility checks for stack pointers and obfuscation using a secret XOR key. This combination allows it to give similar security gua...
