Abstract

See full text

A method for protecting a computer includes identifying potential NOP-sled target addresses in a heap within the memory of the computer. Using a security program module running on the computer, blocks of the memory containing the identified target addresses are preallocated so as to prevent exploitation of the identified target addresses by a heap-spray attack.
