Methodologies for Quantifying (Re-)randomization Security and Timing under JIT-ROP

Salman Ahmed, Ya Xiao, Gang Tan +4

Just-in-time return-oriented programming (JIT-ROP) allows one to dynamically discover instruction pages and launch code reuse attacks, effectively bypassing most fine-grained addre…
