| Abstract | Integer-Overflow-to-Buffer-Overflow (IO2BO) vulnerabilities can be exploited by attackers to cause severe damages to computer systems. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of IntTracker, an efficient dynamic tracking technique for detecting IO2BO vulnerabilities in C/C++ programs. IntTracker utilizes a static taint analysis to select potential overflow sites that are integer operations along critical paths, from sources that are program points reading values from users, to sinks that are memory allocation sites. It then instruments overflow checks at the selected sites. Instead of producing warnings once integer overflows occur, IntTracker replaces the overflown value with a very large and rarely used integer value (dirty value), and treats such the value as an overflow tag. Tag propagation is performed by the existing program operations without any instrumentation as operations on dirty values often produce dirty values. Propagation can be automatically cut off by sanitization routines as they could prevent dirty values from affecting further program execution. IntTracker monitors whether any dirty value is used at a sink to detect IO2BO vulnerabilities. We evaluate IntTracker on 3444 programs of the NIST's SAMATE reference dataset, the SPEC CINT2000 benchmarks and 34 IO2BO bugs in real world. The experimental results show that IntTracker is effective in detecting harmful IO2BO vulnerabilities while bypassing false positives introduced by sanitization routines. Meanwhile, the runtime overhead is negligible, averaging about 0.69%. In contrast, IntPatch, the state of the art, produces a lot more false positives and has a higher overhead. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
