Analysis of GS Protections in Microsoft Windows Vista

Overview The Microsoft Visual Studio compiler supports a Buffer Security Check (GS) option to protect stack variables from overflows that result in arbitrary code execution. The paper developed techniques to identify the presence of GS protection in binaries and used them to identify which programs are and which programs are not protected by the GS option in the 32-bit RTM release of Windows Vista. This paper also measured the randomness of the GS cookies and the effect of Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) on the placement of the master cookie.
