해제 후 재사용 (Use-After-Free, UAF)는 오랜 시간 동안 소프트웨어 보안에서 중요한 문제로 인식되어 왔다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 다양한 완화 방법과 방어 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이러한 연구들은 대부분 기존 벤치마크 성능과 비교했을 때 낮은 성능을 보인다. 이는 메타 데이터와 코드 계측 정보가 증가하여 포인터를 많이 사용하는 벤치마크의 메모리 사용량이 증가하기 때문이다. 이 연구는 SVF를 활용하여 스택에서만 메모리 할당자 호출 지점을 분석한다. 추후 이 분석 정보를 여러 UAF 연구에 적용하여 런타임 오버헤드를 줄이는 것을 목표로 한다.

Flash memory is widely used in embedded systems because of its benefits such as non-volatile, shock resistant, and low power consumption. But NAND flash memory suffers from out-place-update, limited erase cycles, and page based read/write operations. To solve these problems, log-structured filesystem was proposed such as YAFFS. However, YAFFS sequentially retrieves an array of all block information to allocate free block for a write operation. Also before the write operation, YAFPS read the array of block information to find invalid block for erase. These could reduce the performance of the filesystem. This paper suggests fast operation method for NAND flash filesystem that solves the above-mentioned problems. We implemented the proposed methods in YAFFS. And we measured the performance compared with the original technique.

This paper proposes a memory allocation model for Real-Time Linux. The proposed model allows users to create several continuous memory regions in an application, to specify an appropriate region allocation policy for each memory region, and to request memory blocks from a necessary memory region. Instead of using single memory management module in order to support the proposed model, we adopt two-layered structure that is consisted of region allocators implementing allocation policies and a region manager controlling regions and region allocator modules. This structure separates allocation policy from allocation mechanism, thus allows system developers to implement same allocation policy using different algorithms in case of need. IN addition, it enables them to implement new allocation policy using different algorithms in case of need. In addition, it enables them to implement new allocation policy easily as long as they preserver predefined internal interfaces, to add the implemented policy into the system, and to remove unnecessary allocation policies from the system, Because the proposed model provides various allocation policies implemented previously, system builders can also reconfigure the system by just selecting most appropriate policies for a specific application without implementing these policies from scratch.
