We describe the KQguard approach to defend kernels against KQ injection attacks. The design of KQguard is independent of specific details of the attacks.

In this paper, we describe the design, implementation, and evaluation of KQguard, an efficient and effective protection mechanism of KQs. KQguard uses static ...

KQguard protects 20 KQs in WRK, can accommodate new device drivers, and through dynamic analysis of binary code can support closed source device drivers.

Kernel callback queues (KQs) are the mechanism of choice for handling events in modern kernels. KQs have been misused by real-world malware to run malicious ...

KQguard: Binary-Centric Defense against. Kernel Queue Injection Attacks ... • KQguard uses static analysis of kernel source code to detect KQ instances.

Kernel callback queues (KQs) are the established mechanism for event handling in modern kernels. Unfortunately, real-world malware has abused KQs to run ...
