摘要

我们提出了一个用于生成软件修改的工程过程模型,该模型被设计为在大多数或所有关于软件的开发工件(包括源代码)不可用时使用。这种类型的软件,通常称为未知来源的软件(SOUP),引起了许多关于期望的可靠性属性(例如安全性)是否存在和是否充足的疑问。这些疑问促使一些用户应用修改来增强软件的可靠性属性,然而,如果没有必要的开发工件,则修改是在不确定和有风险的状态下进行的。我们研究了在存在这些风险的情况下通过软件修改来提高可靠性,并将其作为一个工程问题,并引入了一个用于生成软件修改的工程过程,称为推测性软件修改(SSM)。我们介绍了SSM的动机和指导原则,并研究了SSM在只有二进制文件可用时保护软件免受缓冲区溢出攻击的案例。

Speculative Software Modification and its Use in Securing SOUP
We present an engineering process model for generating software modifications that is designed to be used when either most or all development artifacts about the software, including the source code, are unavailable. This kind of software, commonly called Software Of Unknown Provenance (SOUP), raises many doubts about the existence and adequacy of desired dependability properties, for example security. These doubts motivate some users to apply modifications to enhance dependability properties of the software, however, without necessary development artifacts, modifications are made in a state of uncertainty and risk. We investigate enhancing dependability through software modification in the presence of these risks as an engineering problem and introduce an engineering process for generating software modifications called Speculative Software Modification (SSM). We present the motivation and guiding principles of SSM, and a case study of SSM applied to protect software against buffer overflow attacks when only the binary is available.
