Layered Binary Templating: Efficient Detection of Compiler- and Linker-introduced Leakage. (arXiv:2208.02093v2 [cs.CR] UPDATED)

Cache template attacks demonstrated automated leakage of user input in shared
libraries. However, for large binaries, the runtime is prohibitively high.
Other automated approaches focused on cryptographic implementations and media
software but are not directly applicable to user input. Hence, discovering and
eliminating all user input side-channel leakage on a cache-line granularity
within huge code bases are impractical.

In this paper, we present a new generic cache template attack technique,
LBTA, layered binary templating attacks. LBTA uses multiple coarser-grained
side …
