ACTOR: Action-Guided Kernel Fuzzing

Mathias Josef Payer

Fuzzing reliably and efficiently finds bugs in software, including operating system kernels. In general, higher code coverage leads to the discovery of more bugs. This is why most existing kernel fuzzers adopt strategies to generate a series of inputs that ...

USBFuzz: A Framework for Fuzzing USB Drivers by Device Emulation

Mathias Josef Payer

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) connects external devices to a host. This interface exposes the OS kernels and device drivers to attacks by malicious devices. Unfortunately, kernels and drivers were developed under a security model that implicitly trusts co ...

HALucinator: Firmware Re-hosting Through Abstraction Layer Emulation

Mathias Josef Payer

Given the increasing ubiquity of online embedded devices, analyzing their firmware is important to security, privacy, and safety. The tight coupling between hardware and firmware and the diversity found in embedded systems makes it hard to perform dynamic ...

Snap-On User-Space Manager for Dynamically Reconfigurable System-on-Chips

Paolo Ienne, Andrea Guerrieri, Sahand Kashani

Due to increased embedded processing requirements, modern SoCs are becoming heterogeneous computing platforms by combining traditional processing units with custom reconfigurable hardware accelerators (HAs) on an FPGA fabric. However, efficiently managing ...

The Battle of the Schedulers: FreeBSD ULE vs. Linux CFS

Willy Zwaenepoel, Baptiste Joseph Eustache Lepers, Sébastien Chevalley, Justinien Gérard Alain Bouron

This paper analyzes the impact on application performance of the design and implementation choices made in two widely used open-source schedulers: ULE, the default FreeBSD scheduler, and CFS, the default Linux scheduler. We compare ULE and CFS in otherwise ...

Can Who-Edits-What Predict Edit Survival?

Matthias Grossglauser, Lucas Maystre, Victor Kristof

As the number of contributors to online peer-production systems grows, it becomes increasingly important to predict whether the edits that users make will eventually be beneficial to the project. Existing solutions either rely on a user reputation system o ...

MPTCP Is Not Pareto-Optimal: Performance Issues and a Possible Solution

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Ramin Khalili, Miroslav Popovic, Nicolas Gabriel Gast

Multipath TCP (MPTCP) has been proposed recently as a mechanism for transparently supporting multiple connections to the application layer. It is under discussion at the IETF. We nevertheless demonstrate that the current MPTCP suffers from two problems: P1 ...

Unifying software and hardware of multithreaded reconfigurable applications within operating system processes

Miljan Vuletic

Novel reconfigurable System-on-Chip (SoC) devices offer combining software with application-specific hardware accelerators to speed up applications. However, by mixing user software and user hardware, principal programming abstractions and system-software ...
