Cling: A Memory Allocator to Mitigate Dangling Pointers
Use-after-free vulnerabilities exploiting so-called dangling pointers to deallocated objects are just as dangerous as buffer overflows: they may enable arbitrary code execution. U...

Certified Absence of Dangling Pointers in a Language with Explicit Deallocation
Safe is a first-order eager functional language with facilities for programmer controlled destruction and copying of data structures. It provides also regions, i.e. disjoint parts...

Efficiently Detecting All Dangling Pointer Uses in Production Servers
In this paper, we propose a novel technique to detect all dangling pointer uses at run-time that is efficient enough for production use in server codes. One idea (previously used ...

SAFECode: enforcing alias analysis for weakly typed languages
Static analysis of programs in weakly typed languages such as C and C++ is generally not sound because of possible memory errors due to dangling pointer references, uninitialized ...

CETS: compiler enforced temporal safety for C
Temporal memory safety errors, such as dangling pointer dereferences and double frees, are a prevalent source of software bugs in unmanaged languages such as C. Existing schemes t...
