Unlimited Lives: Secure In-Process Rollback with Isolated Domains. (arXiv:2205.03205v2 [cs.CR] UPDATED)

The use of unsafe programming languages still remains one of the major root
causes of software vulnerabilities. Although well-known defenses that detect
and mitigate memory-safety related issues exist, they don't address the
challenge of software resilience, i.e., whether a system under attack can
continue to carry out its function when subjected to malicious input. We
propose secure rollback of isolated domains as an efficient and secure method
of improving the resilience of software targeted by run-time attacks. We show
the …
