Midas: Systematic Kernel TOCTTOU Protection

Mathias Josef Payer, Atri Bhattacharyya, Uros Tesic

Double-fetch bugs are a plague across all major operating system kernels. They occur when data is fetched twice across the user/kernel trust boundary while allowing concurrent modification. Such bugs enable an attacker to illegally access memory, cause den ...
