Rust is one of the most promising systems programming languages to fundamentally solve the memory safety issues that have plagued low-level software for over forty years. However, to accommodate the scenarios where Rust's type rules might…

State-of-the-art DRAM read disturbance mitigations rely on the read disturbance threshold (RDT) (e.g., the number of aggressor row activations needed to induce the first read disturbance bitflip) to securely and performance- and…

While memory corruption bugs stemming from the use of unsafe programming languages are an old and well-researched problem, the resulting vulnerabilities still dominate real-world exploitation today. Various mitigations have been proposed to…

Fine-grained memory protection for C and C++ programs must track individual objects (or pointers), and store bounds information per object (pointer). Its cost is dominated by metadata updates and lookups, making efficient metadata…

Since buffer overflow has long been a frequently occurring, high-risk vulnerability, various methods have been developed to support spatial memory safety and prevent buffer overflow. However, every proposed method, although effective in…

ROOT is an object-oriented C++ framework conceived in the high-energy physics (HEP) community, designed for storing and analyzing petabytes of data in an efficient way. Any instance of a C++ class can be stored into a ROOT file in a…

Complexities that arise from implementation of object-oriented concepts in C++ such as virtual dispatch and dynamic type casting have attracted the attention of attackers and defenders alike. Binary-level defenses are dependent on full and…

Write disturbance error (WDE) appears as a serious reliability problem preventing phase-change memory (PCM) from general commercialization, and therefore several studies have been proposed to mitigate WDEs. Verify-and-correction (VnC)…

GPU utilization, measured as occupancy, is limited by the parallel threads' combined usage of on-chip resources, such as registers and the programmer-managed shared memory. Higher resource demand means lower effective parallel thread count,…

Accurate performance projection of large-scale benchmarks is essential for CPU architects to evaluate and optimize future processor designs. SimPoint sampling, which uses Basic Block Vectors (BBVs), is a widely adopted technique to reduce…

Context: In C, low-level errors, such as buffer overflow and use-after-free, are a major problem, as they cause security vulnerabilities and hard-to-find bugs. C lacks automatic checks, and programmers cannot apply defensive programming…

We constructed a newly large-scale and comprehensive C/C++ vulnerability dataset named MegaVul by crawling the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database and CVE-related open-source projects. Specifically, we collected all…

As large language models achieve impressive scores on traditional benchmarks, an increasing number of researchers are becoming concerned about benchmark data leakage during pre-training, commonly known as the data contamination problem. To…

Memory overload is a common form of resource exhaustion in cloud data warehouses. When database queries fail due to memory overload, it not only wastes critical resources such as CPU time but also disrupts the execution of core business…

Battery-less technology evolved to replace battery technology. Non-volatile memory (NVM) based processors were explored to store the program state during a power failure. The energy stored in a capacitor is used for a backup during a power…

Modern software systems heavily use C/C++ based libraries. Because of the weak memory model of C/C++, libraries may suffer from vulnerabilities which can expose the applications to potential attacks. For example, a very large number of…

Existing memory management mechanisms used in commodity computing machines typically adopt hardware based address interleaving and OS directed random memory allocation to service generic application requests. These conventional memory…

Many programs involves operations and logic manipulating user privileges, which is essential for the security of an organization. Therefore, one common malicious goal of attackers is to obtain or escalate the privileges, causing privilege…

Increasing numbers of software vulnerabilities are discovered every year whether they are reported publicly or discovered internally in proprietary code. These vulnerabilities can pose serious risk of exploit and result in system…

Many applications are being written in more than one language to take advantage of the features that different languages provide such as native code support, improved performance, and language-specific libraries. However, there are few…
