Foreword
Exploitation of memory corruption vulnerabilities in widely used software has been a threat for almost three decades, and no end seems to be in sight. In particular, code-reuse techniques such as return-oriented programming are extensively used to exploit memory corruption vulnerabilities in modern software programs, e.g. web browsers, document viewers, or zero-day issues in large-scale cyberattacks such as Stuxnet. Whereas conventional runtime exploits require the injection of malicious code, code-reuse attacks leverage benign code that is already present in the address space of an application to undermine the security model of data execution prevention (DEP). In addition, code-reuse attacks in conjunction with memory disclosure attack techniques circumvent the widely applied memory protection model of address space layout randomization (ASLR). To coun
