SegmentShield: Exploiting Segmentation Hardware for Protecting against Buffer Overflow Attacks

This paper presents a strong and efficient scheme for protecting against buffer overflow attacks. The basic approach of this scheme is pointer copying: copies of code pointers are stored in a safe memory area to detect and prevent the manipulation of code pointers. In order to protect the copied cod...
