Next, we discuss countermeasures that provide protection against these kinds of attacks. This book starts off by presenting a comprehensive and structured survey of vulnerabilities and countermeasures for code injection in C-like languages. Various countermeasures make different trade-offs in terms of performance, e?ectivity, memory cost, compatibility, etc. This makes it hard to evaluate and compare the adequacy of proposed countermeasures in a given context. This survey defines a classification and evaluation framework, on the basis of which advantages and disadvantages of countermeasures can be assessed. This is followed by an in-depth discussion of two novel countermeasures which aim to better protect against attacks while having only a negligible impact on performance. The first countermeasure focuses on stack-based buffer overflows, while...
