Finding Cracks in Shields: On the Security of Control Flow Integrity Mechanisms
Yuan Li, Mingzhe Wang, Chao Zhang, Xingman Chen, Songtao Yang, Ying Liu
Abstract
Control-flow integrity (CFI) is a promising technique to mitigate control-flow hijacking attacks. In the past decade, dozens of CFI mechanisms have been proposed by researchers. Despite the claims made by themselves, the security promises of these mechanisms have not been carefully evaluated, and thus are questionable.
