Problems solved by technology

However, symbolic execution wastes a lot of computing time and resources on vulnerability-independent paths, limiting the efficiency of vulnerability detection.
Moreover, in the case of limited computing time or resources, the exploration of vulnerability-independent paths will also reduce the accuracy of vulnerability detection and increase the false negative rate.

Embodiment Construction

[0028] figure 1Shown is the general flowchart of this method. The input of this method is divided into two parts: target program bytecode and configuration file. The bytecode of the target program is obtained by compiling the C / C++ source program with Clang, the front end of the LLVM 3.1 compiler system. Users can define sensitive operations that may cause software vulnerabilities in the configuration file as the target of this detection, and define corresponding security constraints for each sensitive operation. If the sensitive operation can violate the security constraints in the execution environment, the sensitive operation is considered as a triggerable program vulnerability. The output of this method is a test sample of the program input. By executing the test sample, the current execution environment can be reached and sensitive operations can be triggered to violate the security constraints.

Abstract

A static-analysis-assisted symbolic execution vulnerability detection method includes the light-weight symbolic execution stage, the graph generation stage, the static analysis stage, the symbolic execution stage and the like. At the light-weight symbolic execution stage, symbolic execution is conducted on a target program byte code file under the small time expenditure through a simple symbolic strategy by means of a KLEE symbolic execution tool so as to obtain a bite code of a complete program after the linking process is completed; at the graph generation stage, on the basis of the bite code of the complete program, function calling graphs of the complete program and control flow graphs of the functions are generated through a concentrated opt tool of an LLVM3.1 tool; at the static analysis stage, the function calling graphs of the complete program, the control flow graphs of the functions and configuration files are used as input; at the symbolic execution stage, an effective skip table and a branch marking table are used for assisting in vulnerability detection symbolic execution.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the identification and detection of software loopholes, in particular to a method for identifying and detecting software loopholes based on static program analysis and symbolic execution of software to be detected. Background technique [0002] A software vulnerability is a program error by which an attacker can potentially violate the security policies of a victim's computer system. With the continuous increase of software scale and the continuous expansion of application scope, the harm of software vulnerabilities to people's life and work is also increasing. Therefore, how to efficiently detect and verify software vulnerabilities has become the focus of attention of software developers and testers. Symbolic execution technology is a commonly used vulnerability detection technology, which can traverse the entire target program and generate a test sample for each program path to verify the accessibility and security of the pa...
