Heap-based attacks depend on a combination of memory manage-ment errors and an exploitable memory allocator. We analyze a range of widely-deployed memory allocators, including those used in Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD. We show that de-spite numerous efforts to improve their security, they remain vul-nerable to attack. We present the design and security analysis of DieHarder, a memory allocator that provides the highest degree of security from heap-based attacks of any practical allocator. 1
