RockSalt: better, faster, stronger SFI for the x86
Software-based fault isolation (SFI), as used in Google’s Native Client (NaCl), relies upon a conceptually simple machine-code analysis to enforce a security policy. But for com...

Dynamic heap type inference for program understanding and debugging
C programs can be difficult to debug due to lax type enforcement and low-level access to memory. We present a dynamic analysis for C that checks heap snapshots for consistency wit...

Accurate Interprocedural Null-Dereference Analysis for Java
Null dereference is a commonly occurring defect in Java programs, and many static-analysis tools identify such defects. However, most of the existing tools perform a limited inter...

Inferring Method Effect Summaries for Nested Heap Regions
Effect systems are important for reasoning about the side effects of a program. Although effect systems have been around for decades, they have not been widely adopted in practice...

Nullness Analysis in Boolean Form
Attempts to dereference null result in an exception or a segmentation fault. Hence it is important to know those program points where this might occur and prove the others (or the...
