Embodiment Construction

[0078] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific preferred embodiments.

[0079] Such as figure 1 As shown, a GCC-based fine-grained virtual function table hijacking attack defense method, the overall structure and working principles include:

[0080] 101: Collect the class inheritance relationship and the virtual function table corresponding to the class. The syntax analysis stage in the GCC compilation process generates intermediate language, analyzes the intermediate language to identify the classes in the program, builds the class inheritance diagram, and records its virtual function table set for each class as the basis for constructing a legal target set. In GCC, the macro RECORD_TYPE indicates the type declared by struct or class, which can identify the class in the program. Each class has a macro BINFO to associate the parent class and subclass, and the parent class and virtual function table info...

Abstract

The invention discloses a GCC-based hijack attack defense method for a fine-grained virtual function table. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, collecting a class hierarchy relation and a virtual function table corresponding to a class; secondly, constructing a legal target set; thirdly, recognizing calling points of virtual functions and carrying out instrumentation verification on the functions; fourthly, generating verification data during running; and fifthly, verifying legitimacy of calling of the virtual functions. The defense method analyzes intermediate code representation of a source program, under the condition that the accurate class hierarchy relation is obtained, specific object types of the calling points of the virtual functions and the called virtual functions are used as basis, the calling points of the virtual functions construct an accurate and legal target set, the accuracy of the hijack attack defense method for the virtual function table is improved, and meanwhile, the compatibility and performance of the defense method are also ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of virtual function table hijacking attack defense, in particular to a fine-grained virtual function table hijacking attack defense method based on GCC. Background technique [0002] In a C++ program, in order to realize the dynamic binding mechanism, the compiler generates a virtual function table for the class containing virtual function members in the program, and generates a pointer to the virtual function table for the corresponding object. The virtual function table hijacking attack uses the vulnerabilities in the C++ program (such as u-a-f, buffer overflow vulnerabilities, etc.), tampers with the virtual function table or the pointer to the virtual function table to change the actual call target of the virtual function, thereby hijacking the control flow. Since there are a large number of virtual function calls in C++ programs (for example, 91.8% of indirect calls in Google Chrome are virtual function calls), v...
