Various Buffer Overflow Detection Means for Elbrus Microprocessors

Abstract

A brief review of Protected Execution Mode (PEM) for user-space applications featured in Elbrus architecture is described first. Then, AddressSanitizer, a well-known utility by Google Inc, is considered as an example of a pure software technique of memory control. Comparative analysis of these solutions is given with performance flaws, applicability and boundary violation detection quality.
