Embodiment Construction

[0019] The present invention is specifically implemented for MIPS R4000 compatible CPU (referring to (1) SGI / MIPS.MIPS R4000 Microprocessor User's Manual, 1996. (2) Dominic Sweetman.See MIPSRun.Morgan Kaufmann Publishers Inc.1999.) and Linux operating system , which will be described in detail below.

[0020] To execute a certain instruction, the CPU must first fetch the instruction from the memory. Therefore, the executable permission to control a certain address can be realized through the MMU component when fetching the instruction. In order to provide maximum flexibility, the present invention provides two types of CPU hardware supporting executable permission control.

[0021] One is a segmented control hardware. Two control registers, ProtMask and ProtAddr, are added to the control register group of the MIPS CPU to allow the system to control the range of virtual addresses that can be fetched. ProtMask specifies the address bit to check when fetching instructions: the ...

Abstract

A method supported by CPU hardware for preventing system attack includes providing hardware support in memory manager by CPU to control if some address can be executed, providing a system call interface with a limited executable address range by operating system for controlling the executable address range of application, and providing a system program by operating system for limiting the executable addresses by binary program and preventing the modification and recompilation of source codes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to microprocessor architecture and computer system security, in particular to a system attack prevention method supported by CPU hardware. Background technique [0002] With the popularization of computers and the rapid development of networks, the number of illegal attacks or system intrusions has increased rapidly in recent years, causing more and more losses. The common form of these attacks is to use the loopholes of the system service program to bypass the protection mechanism of the system for illegal access. [0003] A common and dangerous loophole is buffer overflow, which exists widely in various operating systems and application software. Using buffer overflow attacks can cause program failure, execute unauthorized instructions, and even obtain system privileges to perform various illegal operations. The principle of buffer overflow is to write the content exceeding its length to the buffer of the program, causing the ...
