Goed nieuws, 'Het betonnen beleid' van @QuintenJacobs3 krijgt een tweede druk!

[Adriaan Jacobs @a3_jacobs]

Happy to share that both our @EuroSecWorkshop papers got accepted!

Congrats to Jonas and Anton for producing such great research so early in their PhD.

See you in Rotterdam! Also for @EuroSysConf and @ASPLOSConf after :)

Our paper with @HansWinderix, @LeslyAnnDaniel1, and Frank Piessens received the distinguished paper award at @acm_ccs!

We show that many types of bounds checkers are affected (pointer/object-based, spatial/temporal), and that the attack is realistic in real-world code.
In essence, we find that bounds checking is simply not compatible with store-only instrumentation.

[Adriaan Jacobs @a3_jacobs]

In our latest @wootsecurity paper, @StijnVolckaert and I demonstrate a fundamental weakness of store-only bounds checkers: invalidly-loaded pointers (through unchecked reads) give the attacker a near-arbitrary write primitive!
