Software defense: mitigating common exploitation techniques

In our previous posts in this series, we described various mitigation improvements that attempt to prevent the exploitation of specific classes of memory safety vulnerabilities such as those that involve stack corruption, heap corruption, and unsafe list management and reference count...

Software Defense: mitigating stack corruption vulnerabilties

Introduction One of the oldest forms of memory safety exploitation is that of stack corruption vulnerabilities, with several early high-profile exploits being of this type. It seems fitting therefore to kick off this Software Defense series by looking at the status of software defense today with...

Software Defense Series: Exploit mitigation and vulnerability detection

Software Defense is a broad topic requiring a multipronged approach including: - the processes and tooling associated with secure development that we try and encapsulate within the Microsoft SDL, - core OS countermeasures that make exploitation of a given vulnerability more difficult for an...
