Abstract. Format-string attack is one of the few truly threats to software security. Many previous methods for addressing this problem rely on program source code analysis or special recompilation, and hence exhibit limitations when applied to protect the source code unavailable software. In this paper, we present a transparent run-time approach to the defense against format-string attacks via dynamic taint and flexible validation. By leveraging library interposition and ELF binary analysis, we taint all the untrusted user-supplied data as well as their propagations during program execution, and add a security validation layer to the printf-family functions in C Standard Library in order to enforce a flexible policy to detect the format str...
