Add to ORKGWhile numerous approaches have been proposed to prevent stack overflows, heap overflows remain both a security vulnerability and a frequent source of bugs. Previous approaches to preventing these overflows require source code or can slow programs down by a factor of two or more. We present HeapShield, an approach that prevents all library-based heap overflows at runtime. It works with arbitrary, unaltered binaries. It incurs no space overhead and is efficient, imposing minimal impact on real application performance (2 % on average). 1
